Preparation Time:

- Total time: 55-60 minutes
- Servings: 10-12
Ingredients:
*For the layers:*
- 1 pack of margarine (250 g)
- 7 tablespoons of oil
- 2 tablespoons of vinegar
- 1 cup of water (approximately 250 ml)
- Flour (as needed, until you obtain a manageable dough)
*For the cream:*
- 800 ml of soy milk
- 200 g of sugar
- 2 packets of vanilla pudding Dr. Oetker
- 3 tablespoons of flour
Recipe History:
The cream is a classic dessert with deep roots in culinary tradition. Over time, this dessert has evolved, adapting to various dietary regimes, including fasting. Today, the fasting version proves to be just as delicious as the original, giving everyone the chance to enjoy a moment of indulgence.
Preparing the Layers:
1. In a large bowl, start by combining the softened margarine with the oil, vinegar, and water. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition.
2. Gradually add flour, mixing constantly until the dough becomes elastic and no longer sticks to your hands. It is important not to add too much flour, to avoid tough layers.
3. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out the first part on a floured surface until you obtain a thin layer.
4. To prepare the second dough, rub the margarine with the 3-4 tablespoons of flour until it becomes a homogeneous paste. Spread this paste over the first rolled layer.
5. Carefully roll the layer, forming a tight roll, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preparing the Cream:
1. In a pot, mix the sugar with the flour. Add the warm soy milk and mix well.
2. Place the pot on low heat and continuously stir to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Once the cream has thickened, add the previously dissolved puddings in a cup of water (or milk) and let it cook for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Assembling the Dessert:
1. Remove the first layer from the refrigerator and place it on a piece of plastic wrap.
2. Add the warm (not hot) cream on top of the layer and spread it evenly.
3. Carefully place the second layer on top of the cream.
4. Wrap everything in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours, ideally overnight.
5. Before serving, dust the dessert with sugar and cut it into portions.
Practical Tips:
- Use margarine at room temperature to achieve a lighter consistency for the layers.
- If you want a more intense vanilla flavor, you can add vanilla essence to the pudding cream.
- You can enrich the cream with citrus flavors by adding grated lemon or orange zest.
- Try serving the dessert with fruit tea or flavored coffee to complete the tasting experience.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can margarine be replaced with something else?
Yes, you can use vegan butter or coconut oil, but make sure the final texture is as desired.
2. Can I use cow's milk instead of soy milk?
Sure, but the recipe will no longer be suitable for fasting.
3. What other variations can I add?
You can add ground nuts or melted dark chocolate to the pudding cream for a richer note.
Nutritional Benefits:
Post creams are a good source of carbohydrates and can be adapted to include various healthy ingredients. Soy milk provides plant-based proteins and is a lactose-free alternative, while margarine can be chosen in a version with healthy fats.
I conclude this recipe with a personal note: Preparing post creams has become a tradition in my family, a moment of joy where we all gather to enjoy this delicious dessert. So, don't hesitate to prepare it and share it with your loved ones! Enjoy your meal!
