I need a Russian recipe for...?
There is this russian pastry called Kartorshka and it is this chocolate like pastry which can be found in the bakery section of any russian store. I would appreciate it if someone could give me the recipe for it. My family absolutely loves the dessertand want to know how to make it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Answers:
Ingredients
# 1 liter jar of bread crumbs.
# 3/4 Cup of sugar.
# 1 cup of milk.
# 1/2 lb. butter.
# 2 tb cocoa.
# 1/3 cup. walnuts chopped
Add sugar to milk and bring to boil, stirring regularly. Cool down milk, add butter, cocoa, bread crumbs and chopped nuts and stir carefully. Put the dough in the fridge for 20-30 mins. Shape small "potatoes", roll in cocoa and decorate on your taste.
Or instead of cocoa you could coat the pastry in chocolate ganache....
8 oz/250 g Heavy cream or whipping cream
8 oz/250 g Couverture or the best quality, semi-sweet chocolate you can find
Place cream in a saucepan over high heat and bring just to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat. Meanwhile, chop chocolate into small pieces. Place a damp towel on your counter, place pan of hot cream on the towel then add chopped chocolate to the cream. Beat chocolate and cream vigorously until thoroughly mixed. The mixture will solidify as it cools. The time it takes to cool will vary depending on the room temperature and temperature of your pan. You may place the pan in a larger pan of ice water to cool the mixture just until it comes to spreading consistency. Remove from the ice bath at this point to make sure it doesn't harden too much.
Hope you enjoy.

hi, I agree with the previous answer but instead of bread crumbs we add cookies crumbs (can be chocolate cookies or any kind of brown cookies)
