Quick dessert with biscuits and Finetti I have made this dessert several times when I didn't feel like or have time for something complicated, but still wanted a homemade sweet. I usually prepare it directly on a platter, without turning on the oven and without the hassle of creams or layers. Basically, you only need biscuits, milk, and Finetti, and that's about it. It works well when you want something quick in the evening or have unexpected guests. Quick info Total time: 10-15 minutes Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooling time: 1-2 minutes (optional) Servings: depends on the amount used; you can make a small or large tray Difficulty: very easy Recipe type: quick dessert, no baking Ingredients plain biscuits (Petite Beurre or other classic biscuits) milk (for soaking) Finetti (or another spreadable chocolate cream) Preparation method 1. Pour a little milk into a deep plate. Take each biscuit one by one and dip it in the milk, letting it soak for a few seconds. Don't leave them too long, just enough to get softer, otherwise, they will break. 2. Arrange a layer of soaked biscuits on a tray or platter, side by side. 3. Spread an even layer of Finetti over the biscuits, enough to cover the entire surface. 4. Repeat: place another layer of soaked biscuits, then more Finetti, until you finish the ingredients or reach the desired height. You can make 2-3 layers, depending on how big you want the dessert to be. 5. When you finish assembling, put the dessert in the fridge for 1-2 minutes to set a bit. If you cut it immediately, it will be softer; if you want it to be firmer, you can keep it cold for 10-15 minutes. 6. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Why I make this recipe often It helps me when I need something quick, especially since I don't dirty many dishes. Accessible ingredients, easy to find. You can adjust the layering based on how much you feel like or how many people you have at the table. It's the dessert for moments when you don't want to complicate things. Tips and variations Tips 1. The biscuits should be soaked just enough to soften, not to fall apart. 2. The layers are placed like in Dobos cake – alternating biscuits and cream. 3. The longer you keep the biscuits in milk, the softer the final dessert will be. Substitutions 1. If you don't have Finetti, Nutella or any cocoa spread will work. 2. You can use any plain biscuits, not necessarily the classic round or square ones, as long as they absorb the milk. Variations 1. You can add some pieces of nuts between layers for texture if you want, but it's not in the basic recipe. 2. If you want a cooler dessert, keep it in the fridge longer. 3. For an extra flavor, you can add a splash of rum essence to the milk. Serving ideas 1. Cut into square or rectangular pieces, directly from the tray. 2. It can be served plain, or with a little powdered sugar on top, but it's not necessary. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use butter biscuits or digestives? Yes, but it will slightly change the texture and final taste. Digestives absorb the milk faster. 2. Can Finetti be replaced with jam or another cream? You can try, but the taste will not be the same. Jam does not pair as well with milk and biscuits. 3. Can I use plant-based milk for soaking the biscuits? Yes, soy or almond milk works, but the biscuits may absorb differently, so check after a few seconds to avoid breaking. 4. Does the dessert need to be kept in the fridge? No, but if you want it to be firmer and easy to cut, it helps to stay cold for at least a few minutes. 5. How can I make it not too soft? Don't keep the biscuits in milk too long and don't put too much cream between layers. Nutritional values Approximately, per serving (about 50 g): 220-250 kcal, 30 g carbohydrates, 10-12 g fats, 3-4 g proteins. Values depend on the biscuits and how much cream you use. The dessert is high in carbohydrates and has sugar, so small portions are sufficient. Storage and reheating It can be stored in the fridge, covered, for up to 2 days. The biscuits become softer, but do not spoil quickly. It doesn't make sense to reheat it; it is served cold or at room temperature. If it stays too long, it becomes very soft but still edible. If you want it to stay firmer, eat it the same day.
