Desert - Ladyfingers by Lelia N. - Recipia

To prepare this delicious dessert, we will start with the base, which is essential for achieving a fluffy and flavorful texture. The first step is to separate the eggs, a process that requires care to ensure that the yolks do not get contaminated with the whites. In a clean bowl, we add a pinch of salt over the egg whites, and then we start beating them with a mixer until we achieve a stiff and glossy foam. This step is crucial, as the egg white foam will give the base a perfect aeration. In another bowl, we cream the yolks with the 6 tablespoons of sugar, mixing vigorously until the mixture becomes a light-colored cream and the sugar dissolves almost completely. Gradually, we add this yolk mixture to the egg whites, being careful to fold from top to bottom with a spatula, so as not to deflate the egg whites. This technique will ensure that the base will be light and fluffy. Now, it's time to incorporate the flour and baking powder. We gradually add them to the egg mixture, gently mixing so that we do not lose the incorporated air. The resulting mixture is poured into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and placed in the preheated oven. We leave it at high heat for 5 minutes, after which we reduce the temperature. The base will be ready when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, without traces of batter. After baking, we let it cool, and then we crumble it with our hands or a food processor. For the delicious cream, in a pot, we combine the 5 tablespoons of flour, 200 g of sugar, 3 packets of vanilla sugar, and 500 ml of milk. We bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. When the cream thickens, we let it cool. After cooling, we add the 200 g of room temperature butter, mixing well until it is perfectly incorporated. Then, we add the 3 tablespoons of cocoa and the rum essence, mixing again to obtain a smooth and homogeneous cream. Finally, we pour the cream over the crumbled base and mix everything until the ingredients are evenly distributed. We start forming balls from the resulting mixture, and for an extra flavor, we can add a roasted hazelnut or a few sour cherries inside each ball to create an interesting contrast of flavors. The formed balls are then rolled in coconut for an attractive appearance and a special aroma. This dessert not only looks wonderful but will certainly impress with its refined taste and fine texture, being perfect to end a festive meal.
