Cake "Potato" made of cookies with condensed milk
Cake "Potato" made of cookies with condensed milk is the most delightful childhood memory. From my own experience, I can say that it became my second experience in cooking (the first was creamy sausage made of cookies with nuts). What is the charm of this cake recipe? It's simple: "potato" can be made without baking - just mix the ingredients and voilà, it's ready! The taste of the cake Potato made of cookies with condensed milk is delightful!
Preparation time: 210 minutes.
Ingredients
Show ingredients
- sandwich cookies 500 g;
- butter 200 g (package weight 180 g);
- a can of condensed milk (approx. 400 g);
- dark chocolate 100 g (bar weight 90 g);
- cocoa powder 20 g;
- candied fruits (pineapple cubes) 50 g;
- powdered sugar for sprinkling.
Since the package of butter and the chocolate bar weigh less than required by the recipe, you can slightly reduce the amount of cookies, but I didn't do that. There is nothing critical in this underweight/overweight.
Preparation
- Break the cookies into small pieces.
- Grind them to a rough flour consistency in a blender. You can pass it through a meat grinder. Divide the ground mass into two parts.
- Place a bowl with butter on a steam bath, cutting it into cubes beforehand. Melt it. Pour into the bowl where all the components of the cake will be combined.
- Pour one part of the ground cookies and cocoa powder into the butter. Mix.
- In the bowl where the butter was melted, add the chocolate, broken into pieces. Melt it in a steam bath.
- Transfer to the main mass. Mix.
- Add condensed milk. Mix.
- We have combined almost all the ingredients. It is clear that the mass is too liquid. Add the second part of the cookies. Stir.
- The mass is thick enough. Knead it well.
- Prepare the candied fruits. In this recipe, dried candied pineapple cubes were used. They are small in size, but for the potato cake, it's better to cut them into even smaller pieces.
- Add the chopped pineapples to the prepared mass. Knead. I think that instead of candied fruits, you could try nuts or dried fruits, finely chopped beforehand.
- A standard "potato" cake has the shape of a ball or an oval, like a pie. As an experiment, you can try other shapes. Roll out a cake layer 1.5 cm thick and press with a culinary mold for a different silhouette.
- If there are no cookie molds, you can shape any forms by hand – classic bricks, cubes, balls. About sizes. Some like to make cakes large, palm-sized – so that, as they say, "the mouth rejoices". I made the cakes small in size, for 2-3 bites. The potato cake turns out quite sweet, even cloyingly so for my taste. Place the prepared cakes on a plate, tray, and put them in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
P.S. You can roll the balls in coconut flakes if available. Then place them to cool.
- When the cake "Potato" made of cookies with condensed milk has solidified, you can sprinkle powdered sugar for decoration. Enjoy!
