Let me guide you step by step through this culinary adventure! Preparation time: 30 minutes Cooling time: 2-3 hours Servings: 12 Ingredients - 4 egg yolks - 150 ml milk - 500 ml liquid cream - 200 g cream cheese - 250 g very thick yogurt (7% fat) - 150 g sugar - 2 cans of pineapple (chunks) - 4 sachets of gelatin - 1 sachet of Dr. Oetker glaze - egg liqueur flavor - 1 sachet of Dr. Oetker glaze - duo (yogurt and strawberries) - vanilla extract (a few drops) - dried plums (finely chopped) - dried apricots (finely chopped) - cold vanilla cream, Dr. Oetker (for decoration) Necessary Utensils - Bain-marie pot - Mixer - Medium-sized baking tray - Plastic wrap - Spatula Step by Step 1. Preparing the egg yolk cream Start by melting the egg yolks with the sugar. Use a stainless steel bowl or a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of boiling water (bain-marie). Stir constantly to prevent sticking to the sides of the bowl. Gradually add the milk and the egg liqueur glaze, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes smooth and has the consistency of sour cream. 2. Adding flavors Once the egg yolk cream is ready, add a few drops of vanilla extract for extra flavor. It’s important to use quality vanilla extract, as it will give a richer taste to your cake. 3. Whipping the cream In a separate bowl, whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm. This will give an airy texture to the cake. Carefully add the yogurt and cream cheese, gently folding with a spatula. Once the ingredients are well incorporated, add the egg yolk mixture. 4. Hydrating the gelatin Hydrate the gelatin in the syrup from the canned pineapple. Wait a few minutes for the gelatin to absorb the syrup. Then, place the mixture over low heat just until it melts, being careful not to let it boil. 5. Combining the ingredients Once the gelatin is completely melted, carefully add it to the cream and fruit mixture. It’s time to introduce the finely chopped dried fruits (plums and apricots) and the drained pineapple chunks. This is when the cake will develop its rich flavors. 6. Finalizing the cake Line the tray with plastic wrap to facilitate removing the cake later. Pour the diplomat mixture into the tray and smooth the surface with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cake for 2-3 hours, or until it sets well. 7. Decorating the cake After the cake has set, invert it onto a serving platter. Carefully remove the plastic wrap. Prepare the vanilla cream according to the package instructions and decorate the cake with it. You can add sugar figurines for a festive touch. Helpful Tips - Fruit variations: You can experiment with other dried fruits, such as raisins or figs, to add diversity and personalize the cake. - Gelatin: Make sure to follow the instructions on the gelatin packet, as different types may require different hydration methods. - Texture: If you prefer a creamier cake, you can add more liquid cream or yogurt. Pairing with Other Dishes This cake is wonderful served alongside fresh lemonade or flavored tea. Additionally, a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a slice of cake will turn the dessert into an irresistible delight! Nutritional Benefits The Diplomat Cake with Dried Fruits is a healthier choice, thanks to the use of dried fruits, which are rich in fiber and antioxidants.
