Ingredients
For the Chocolate Orange Cream:
- 1 packet of Creme Ole with dark chocolate and orange
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 200 ml milk
For the Whipped Cream:
- 215 g heavy cream (over 30% fat)
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 80 ml cold milk
For Assembly:
- 18 ladyfingers
- 1 packet of original cappuccino
- warm water
- grapes for decoration
Steps for Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Orange Cream
Start by preparing the delicious cream. In a bowl, add the contents of the Creme Ole packet, powdered sugar, and milk. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and slightly fluffy cream. This is the base of your dessert that will bring a note of dark chocolate and a subtle orange flavor.
Step 2: Prepare the Whipped Cream
In another bowl, place the heavy cream and add the powdered sugar and cold milk. Whip at medium speed until you get a firm whipped cream, but be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn into butter. Perfect whipped cream will make the dessert creamy and flavorful.
Step 3: Prepare the Cappuccino
In a small bowl, mix the cappuccino packet with warm water, creating a flavorful drink. This will be the moist base for the ladyfingers, giving them an intense and deep flavor.
Step 4: Assemble the Dessert
Now it's time to assemble the dessert. Use a brush to dip each ladyfinger in the cappuccino, being careful not to leave them in the liquid too long to avoid a mushy texture. Arrange the ladyfingers on a platter, side by side, like soldiers in a row.
With the help of a piping bag, add a generous layer of cream on each ladyfinger. Continue with another layer of ladyfingers, then decorate with whipped cream, dollops of cream, and grapes. The beauty of this dessert lies not only in its taste but also in its attractive appearance.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours. If you resist the temptation, you'll find that the flavors blend perfectly after this chilling time. When you're ready to serve, cut into portions and enjoy the reactions of your loved ones!
Useful Tips
- Whipped Cream Care: Choose a high-quality heavy cream with a fat content of over 30%. This will ensure a more stable and tastier whipped cream.
- Homemade Cappuccino: You can also use homemade cappuccino made from freshly ground coffee for a more intense flavor.
- Variations: Instead of grapes, you can use fresh berries or even chopped nuts for a contrast of textures.
- Serving: This dessert pairs well with a strong espresso or fruit tea, which will complement the rich flavors.
