They can be prepared together with small children and to please the family, as well as to make an original souvenir that will be definitely appreciated.
The Cow
Let's start with the simplest options, which do not require much time and a large range of products.
Prescription sweets at home require the following:
- faceted glass of milk;
- 2 times more sugar;
- 50 g butter;
- as much honey;
- half a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
For cooking, we need a thick-walled saucepan so that the composition does not burn.
Pour our milk there. As soon as the foam begins to appear, we dump the butter and sugar. Constantly stir with a whisk. The liquid should boil (reduce the heat to a minimum) for about 40-45 minutes, until it thickens. At the end of the process, add honey and lemon juice.
When the recipe for homemade sweets is observed and the mass has become viscous, remove the pan from the stove, let it cool slightly. Prepare molds at this time or use an ice maker. Pour the mass and cool to the end. In order to speed up the process, put in a cold place.
The taste of "Cow" will practically not differ from those bought in the store. Most likely you will like it even more.
"Bird's milk"
This recipe with photos of homemade sweets is often used to make cakes. So it is useful in any case.
Ingredients:
- a bar of dark chocolate (if you can, then cook the icing);
- 10 g of edible gelatin;
- half a glass of powdered (sugar);
- 50 ml of water;
- 100 ml of condensed milk;
- 75 g butter with a high percentage of fat content;
- 3 chicken proteins.
Follow these steps:
- Let's start with chocolate, which needs to be melted and with a warm composition to cover the bottom and walls of silicone molds.
- Pour gelatin with water, stir and leave for half an hour.
- Beat whites with a whisk or mixer along with icing sugar so that “peaks” appear, that is, the mass becomes stable.
- Heat the gelatin over low heat so that all crystals dissolve. But the liquid should not boil, otherwise the composition will lose its properties.
- According to the recipe for making homemade sweets, pour the hot mass into a squirrel in a thin stream, without turning off the mixer.
- Wash the whisk of the apparatus and in a separate bowl, whip the butter with condensed milk and add to the main composition.
- When the mass becomes homogeneous, put in molds with chocolate. You can pour a little on top, thereby determining the bottom of the sweets.
- We send it to the refrigerator and in an hour everything will be ready.
Not difficult, but with excellent results.
Glaze home
If you decide to make your own chocolate icing for sweets at home, the recipe is this.
Put on a slow fire to cook 2 tablespoons of milk with 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Pour 40 g of cocoa powder there. Stir with a whisk to avoid lumps and put 60 g of butter or margarine. Watch for density. Dip the billets of goodies in a slightly cooled mixture, and then on a wire rack.
Raffaello
There are a lot of recipes, but the simplest one is described here.
Prepare:
- Vanillin.
- 100 g of fine coconut flakes.
- A can of condensed milk.
- Almond.
- 100 g butter.
- White chocolate.
Better if the oil is at room temperature. We mix it with condensed milk and at the end, when you achieve uniformity, pour 2/3 of the coconut flakes. The mass should stand at least one day and better if you put it in the refrigerator.
Next, we start making sweets at home. The recipe with the photo shows what result you need to achieve. Scoop it with a teaspoon, give your hands a round shape, inserting whole almonds in the middle. Melt white chocolate, dip the balls there and immediately roll in the remains of coconut flakes. If necessary, immediately roll again in the palms.
You can fold immediately on a plate. Sometimes at the end they roll in a ground nut.
Truffles
In the 19th century, the rich treated this delicacy. Until now, its price has been very biting in the store. But you can make these prescription sweets with photos at home.
A few products are needed for cooking:
- cognac or rum - 1 tbsp;
- cocoa - 3 tbsp;
- dark chocolate;
- powdered sugar - 2 tbsp;
- vanillin;
- fat cream - 70 ml.
We start with the preparation of "ganache." To do this, break the bar of chocolate and melt using a water bath. Pour cream, cognac here, pour out powdered sugar. The mixture should not be streaks or lumps. The preparation is over.
Then cool slightly at natural temperature, and cover, set in a cold place. The mass should resemble plasticine. According to the recipe for homemade sweets, the shape should be round, but at your discretion you can make a natural, cone-shaped. It is not that difficult.
Then roll in cocoa mixed with powdered sugar. Everything is ready. It is better to store in the refrigerator, but put it in a container so that the sweetness does not pick up other people's smells.
Turkish Delight
We use the Turkish recipe for making homemade sweets. A citrus scent will fill your home and gather everyone at a large table. This option will surprise guests.
We will need:
- orange;
- 5 glasses of sugar;
- 5 tbsp powdered sugar;
- 1 glass of water;
- half a glass of starch.
Wash the citrus peel thoroughly with a brush. On a coarse grater, rub the zest and squeeze a glass of orange juice, which we put with sugar on a fire and bring to a boil. The recipe for homemade sweets provides that it should cook for about 20 minutes.
At the end, pour a glass of water in which potato starch is bred, and add the zest. Keep on fire until the mixture thickens. When the mass begins to lag behind the walls, pour it onto a baking sheet with a flat bottom covered with baking paper.
Take a spatula, moisten in cold water and smooth the top layer. Wait until everything is frozen, and cut with a sharp knife in any shape. Roll in icing sugar and lay on a beautiful plate.
Using various fruits, cook multi-colored Turkish delight.
