Therefore, in this post, I will introduce you to desserts, which must be trying to try during a trip to Europe, because European countries presented many of the most interesting sweets.
Black Forest Cake or Schwarzvald (Germany)
In Germany, they know not only in beer and the helmet "Icebine". Here they are preparing delicious desserts and baking. It is not for nothing in every corner in Germany there is a bakery (bäckerei), where the bakes are baked fresh buns every day.
Delicious chocolate cake Schwarzwälder Kirschtort) come from the German region Baden-Württemberg is known worldwide. It is concerned that your name is the Black Forest Cake or translated into Russian "Black Forest" received in honor of the same region of the same region of the same name.
Each layer of cake is laid cherries, and on top of the cake decorated with whipped cream and chocolate chips. The secret of the special taste of the cake Schwarzvald is the impregnation of each attachment alcoholic beverage Kirschwasser. According to German laws, the "Schwarzwald" can be called only that cake, which was prepared using this alcoholic cherry drink. The cake is incredibly tasty and impregnated.
Schwarzvald's largest original cake was prepared in 2006 in the German park of EUROPE Park. Just imagine the weight of the cake was 3000 kg, diameter - 10 m.

Italian almond cookies Cantuchini (Cantuccini or Biscotti) can be found almost in any pastry shop (pasticceria) of the North of Italy, where they are often called abbreviated - Cantucci.

In any case, the dish is simple arrangement.

I was surprised that such exquisite dessert It was invented in families of poor farmers. The hostess whipped eggs with sugar and soaked this mixture cookies to feed their children - so the children remained longer than sat. Already later, Mascarpone and Cocoa cheese was added to this recipe.
There are many types of Tiramisu, and perhaps each Italian region prepares him in his own way. In Florence, we somehow happened to try a tiramisu with cheese mascarpone green, and not white! I think the color of cheese in this case depends on the impregnation of the dessert. In the cafe Italy Tiramisu is sold portion - most often in separate cups. Tiramisu can be cooked at home, but should be followed to eat it on the same day or maximum the next day - dessert from fresh Yaitz Spent very quickly!

For their manufacture, you can simply finely roll off purchased in the store. puff pastry, Cut it on the same squares of approximately 8 to 8 cm and bake in the oven. Pistachios should be exactly crushed, not hammer. That is, they must be crushed to the state of pieces of 1-2 mm thick. Mascarpone cream will be done by himself.
It will take:
Maskarpone (this is Italian cream cheese) - 0, 5 jars,
Egg yolk - 1pc,
Sugar powder - 100 gr.
We are preparing:
First cream: for it we combine cheese, egg yolk and sugar powder and whipped with a wedge, until a homogeneous magnificent mass is obtained.
Now we take three squares of the Milf, two of them evenly smear the cream (not too abundantly). Then we cut the berries: strawberries on the quarters (if very large, then smaller), blackberry and raspberries in half. The remaining berries leave whole.
We lay out the cut berries over the cream, add to each cake on the berry of blueberries. Then we combine the cake and cover it with the third crispy square of the Milfhey.
Now it will be necessary to gently smear the sides of the cake with cream so that all the filling is hidden under his layer, and both extreme embers remained intact. Finally, the final trick: Holding cakes for the cream-free top and bottom korzh, alternately do all four sides in crushed pistachios so that they cover the cream to a smooth thick layer.
Cupcake almost ready! Timur starts his decoration. At first he draws around it on a plate graphics berry sauce. If you have enough patience, you can make this sauce yourself. It is necessary to take 200 grams of blackberry, maracuy and raspberries, grind in a blender, add 50 g of sugar powder and respect to the state of thick sauce, and then cool.

And prepare it relatively simple. True, you need to know that this dessert can not be prepared in advance, it should be used immediately.
French dessert ice cream with basil and mint
The second dessert is beautiful in that he is not familiar with anything. It has an unusual taste combination of basil and mint. And he has a completely different texture of the three composite layers, which give fireworks of tactile sensations, when you are taught.
For this dessert, it is necessary to prepare in advance three components and store them in the refrigerator. This is mint-lime granite, air Espuma and sorbet with a basil.
We will need the following products:

Limes - 2 pcs,

We are preparing:
Granite is the smallest crystals of ice, which are obtained if freezing the liquid gradually, all the time stirring it. To prepare a mint-lime granite, you need to scream with hot sugar syrup mint, let it stand for 2 minutes so that the mint gives his color and taste.
Then remove it, the syrup is slightly cooling, add a shredded zest, and squeezed lime juice, pour the mixture into a plate and put in the freezer. As soon as the liquid rises at the top of the thinner of the ice crust, it is necessary to remove it from the freezer, mix it thoroughly and freeze again, repeating the mixing every 15-20 minutes. Then we will do not completely ice, and the smallest crystals of ice: a gentle delicacy with severe sweet-sweet, mint taste.
Espuma is a culinary technique that allows anything to turn into a gentle mousse. For the preparation of foam mousse, a siphon is required for sauces. Of course, the siphon does not have every kitchen, but this is exactly what is worth purchasing.
After all, with it, you can do a variety of culinary wonders, surprising guests not only by sweets, but also with gentle foamed sauces of mushrooms, vegetables, fish or dairy products. Of all the way with the help of a siphon, it turns out a light, tasty, foam mass, resembling whipped mousse.
In our case, it is necessary to mix very fatty sour cream, sugar syrup and any non-alcoholic mint syrup. The resulting mass to fill in the siphon and store it in the refrigerator (but not in the freezer). Prepare Espum (foaming the mass with a siphon) is necessary right before the feed, because the mousse has a very tender texture and quickly settles.
And finally, sorbet. We prepare it like this: hot sugar syrup are screaming basil, let it stand for 2-3 minutes, take out the leaves. Then we cool, add whipped egg proteins and the remaining ingredients, we are whipped and sent to the satellite to prepare ice cream.
While Timur was preparing, we questioned it, what kind of desserts he likes most. It turned out that those in which the inequal tastes are combined at first glance. For example, basil and ice cream. And he really loves a chocolate ice cream, which makes Hinnes with Beer (half a litter of beer for half a liter of the composition for chocolate ice cream, beat into the sorber officer).
When all three ingredients are ready for our dessert, proceed to the "assembly" of the dessert. Timur does it very effectively. In a glass vase, he places mint leaves, then puts a glass cone from above, which places several spoons of bright green fragrant granites.
From top view of the movement of the magician, he pulls the layer of light green gentle mourse and, finally, the ball of white ice cream is sent to the center of this magnificence.
This magnificent dessert is truly a complex work. It is beautiful and visually, and texture and taste. The eye pleases the color stretching from a white ice cream ball to a bright green mint. And there is still a tasteful and tactile game of sensations: from a rather sweet and dense cream taste of ice cream ball, through a gentle texture of whipped mousse to acidic mint crystals granites. Plus, the basil and mint in the dessert give a completely original combination. Royal dessert!
At first glance it seems that it is quite difficult to make it, but this is still worth learning. Moreover, it is passing in a few culinary technicians at once, which will give a space for your personal creativity.
