Mosaic
I will give you today, the recipe for one of my favorite summer pastry that drives crazy all kids and the ones young at heart :) It's a pastry that in Greece is made often at summer, and I haven't seen it in other countries, so I would call it again a traditional greek pastry, but maybe I am mistaken, so please give me feedback.
It looks like a mosaic, usually it's in the form of a roll (but not the one I made in the photos) and it's made with biscuits (petit-beurre). It's so easy to make, that you can do it with your kids and you will consume it at no time !
Ingredients
2 boxes of biscuits petit-beurre
250gr of butter
350 gr icy sugar
2 eggs
3 spoonfulls of cocoa powder
1 vanilla
1 spoonfull of brandy
250ml of milk
Procedure
Break with your hands the biscuits in small pieces (1x1cm). Pour the milk slowly, using your hand to wet all the biscuits.
Beat, using a mixer, first the soften butter with the sugar, continue adding the eggs, the cocoa powder, the brandy.
Finish by adding the biscuits and mix them softly with a spatula.
Prepare a dish that can go in the freezer and has a cover, by covering it with baking paper.
Empty the mixture inside and cover with the remaining paper and close with the cover. Put it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight.
When you want to serve it, take it out of the freezer for 5 minutes and cut it in slices. Once tried it, you will become addicted! Enjoy...
TIP: Some like to melt some dark chocolate and pour it on top. If you don't mind the extra calories, go for it, it's delicious :)
Improvement: Use a silicone mold like here.
