Tort cu mousse de dulce de leche si cocos (Coconut and Dulce de Leche Mousse Cake)

Share

   
         De mult timp tot planuiesc sa fac un tort care sa combine Dulce de Leche cu Cocos, caci imi plac tare mult amandoua si acum i-a venit randul :) Combinatia intre cele doua tipuri de mousse e deosebit de placuta, foarte usoara si aromata, exact cum credeam ca va fi! Va invit pe toti sa-l degustati macar virtual, caci e delicios!
        Cu aceasta reteta particip din nou la provocarea "Dulce Romanie" de luna Mai, unde deja am primit multe retete frumoase si interesante, si unde va astept in continuare cu retete pe cele care nu ati apucat inca sa-mi trimiteti. Deadline-ul este peste 3 zile. Si acum reteta...
        I've been meaning to make this cake that would combine Dulce de Leche and Coconut for a long time now, because I love both their flavours :) The combination between these 2 mousses is really delicious, very light and flavourful, exactly how I thought they would turn out to be! I invite you all to take a virtual bite, because it's divine!

The deadline is in 3 days. And now let's see the recipe...

Cum se face/How it's made:   


Mai intai se face un blat de tort cu ingredientele de mai sus, puteti sa vedeti reteta mea de pandispan daca dati click pe link-ul pus acolo. Cand blatul de tort e rece, il taiem in 3 felii.
We first make a sponge cake with the ingredients above, you can follow my recipe by clicking the link I've put there.  When the sponge cake is cold we slice it in 3 layers.


Pt mousse-ul de cocos/For the coconut mousse:
Intr-o craticioara punem laptele de cocos cu zaharul si fulgii de cocos, amestecam si punem la foc mic sa fiarba pentru 2 minute pana se ingroasa putin.
In a small pot we put the coconut milk, sugar and coconut flakes, we stir and we let it boil on low heat for 2 minutes, so it thickens a little.

Preparam gelatina conform instructiunilor de pe pachet si cand crema de cocos e rece, adaugam gelatina si amestecam bine.
We prepare the gelatin following the instructions we have on the package and when the coconut cream is cold, we add the gelatin and we mix it well.

Batem frisca foarte bine (ca sa se bata bine, tineti 5 minute in congelator bolul si paletele de la mixer), si apoi punem cate putin din crema de cocos, pana o incorporam pe toata.
We whip the cream very well (as a tip, you can put the bowl with the mixer batters in the fridge for 5 minutes) and after that we add coconut cream until we mix it all.

Punem mousse-ul de cocos la rece/ We place the coconut mousse in the fridge.


Pt mousse-ul de dulce de leche/For the Dulce de Leche Mousse:
Preparam gelatina conform instructiunilor si o adaugam la dulcele de leche, amestecand bine. Batem frisca foarte bine si apoi incorporam dulcele de leche.
We prepare the gelatin  and we mix it with the dulce de leche. We whip the cream and after that we fold the dulce de leche into the cream.

Cand e gata, o punem in frigider pentru 5 minute.
When the mousse is finished, we place it in the fridge for 5 minutes.

Incepem sa asamblam tortul astfel/We start to assembly the cake:
  Tapetam tava in care am copt blatul cu folie transparenta si punem prima felie de blat. Insiropam cu putin lapte de cocos si punem mousse-ul de dulce de leche.
  We place foil in the cake pan that we baked the sponge cake and we place one cake sheet moistened with coconut milk.

Intindem foarte bine si punem deasupra a doua felie de blat, iar peste mousse-ul de cocos.
We level it nicely and we place the second cake layer, and on top the coconut mousse.

Intindem frumos mousse-ul si punem a treia foaie de blat. Acoperim cu folie si dam la frigider pentru cel putin 4 ore.
We level the mousse nicely and we place the third cake layer. We cover the pan with foil and we place the cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Pentru decor/For decorating:
Punem fulgii de cocos intr-un strat uniform intr-o tava si dam la cuptor la 175 grade pentru 7 minute. Aveti grija ca se prajesc foarte repede. Puteti sa-i lasati neprajiti daca va place.
We place the coconut flakes in an even layer in a baking pan and we place the pan in the oven at 350 degrees for 7 minutes. Be careful because they get toasted easily.You can decorate the cake with coconut flakes without toasting them if you prefer.

Batem frisca bine, adaugam putin zahar si o intindem peste tort. Cand fulgii de cocos s-au racit de tot, ii lipim pe marginile tortului de jur imprejur. Eu am pus deasupra si niste stropi mici de dulce de leche, pe care i-am taiat cu o scobitoare.  Voilà!
We whip the cream and we place it on the cake, covering it nicely. When the coconut flakes are cold we place them on the cake sides, all around. I've also put some dulce de leche drops, which I've "cut" with a wooden toothpick for design. And Voilà!

Si o sectiune cu o felie...
And a section with a slice...

Si o felie pentru voi cu toata dragostea mea! Mousse-ul de dulce de leche mi-a placut mai mult decat cea de cocos, este atat de fina incat nu te poti opri din mancat :) Bon appetit prieteni dragi!
And a slice for you with all my love! I've found the dulce de leche mousse more delicious that the coconut one, it has such a beautiful flavor that you just can't stop eating :) Bon appetit mes amis!

Magic bars

          Am aflat de aceasta prajitura cu mult timp in urma de la o amica si dupa ce am preparat-o am uitat de ea, caci trebuie sa recunosc ca nu sunt un fan ciocolata in prajituri :) am o reala problema cand vreau sa cumpar ceva de la un coffee shop pe aici prin Toronto, aproape toate prajiturelele au glazura de un fel sau altul, iar cand intreb de ceva fara zahar deasupra, deci "plain", se uita ciudat la mine :) cu o privire care zice "cum poti sa nu iubesti toppingul?" :))
         Ca sa revin la subiect, din cand in cand mai fac cate ceva cu ciocolata pentru sotul meu, sau ca mi se pune pata pe cine stie ce desert ce vreau sa il incerc. Magic bars sau Prajitura Magica, face parte din experimentele mele, si imi place tare mult caci e o combinatie foarte potrivita intre biscuite, cocos, nuci si ciocolata, similara cu batoanele Snickers. Se pastreaza foarte bine, si are un gust deosebit pentru cat de simplu se prepara. Reteta exacta (eu am modificat-o o idee) o vazusem la DiamondLovesCuisine care mi-a reamintit de ea, va sugerez sa ii vizitati blogul, este o fata extraordinara cu niste maini de aur!
           I found out about this recipe a long time ago from a friend of mine and after I made it myself, I totally forgot about it, since I have to admit I'm not really a huge fan of desserts that contain chocolate :) I have a real problem when I want to buy something from a coffee shop here in Toronto, almost all cookies have a glaze of some kind, and if I ask about something "plain", without any sugar on top, I get a funny look that says "How can you not love toppings?" :))

          Getting back to the point, from time to time, I do make chocolate desserts for my husband, or because I really wanna try some new recipe. Magic Bars are one of my experiments which I enjoy since it has a very good combination between crackers, coconut, nuts and chocolate, similar to Snickers. It's very tasty and lasts for days. I saw the exact recipe at DiamondLovesCuisine, who reminded me of Magic Bars, I really recommend her amazing blog, she's a lovely girl with golden hands!

Ingrediente/Ingredients:

 Pt  1 tava 23x23/ For 23/23 pan size:

   120 g unt/120 g butter
   150 g biscuiti (eu am avut cu miere)/150 g graham crumbs
   100 g cocos/100 g coconut flakes
   150 g ciocolata fulgi/150 g chocolate chips
   100 g nuci/100 g walnuts
   400 ml lapte condensat/400 ml condensed milk



Cum se face/How it's made:


Atentie! Nu apasati sau amestecati straturile, doar presaram un strat peste altul si introducem in cuptor.
Topim untul la microunde si il turnam in tava.

Attention! We do not press the layers, or mix anything, just make layers and place in the oven.

We first melt the butter and we pour it in the pan.

Zdrobim bine biscuitii si ii presaram peste unt intr-un strat uniform, fara sa apasam.

On the melted butter, we place the cracker crumbs evenly.

Peste biscuiti presaram fulgii de cocos cat mai uniform.

We add the coconut on top evenly.

 Peste cocos punem ciocolata fulgi, eu am cumparat bobite mici de ciocolata, dar puteti sa  taiati bucatele ciocolata daca preferati (nu va recomand sa razuiti ciocolata)

We place the chocolate chips evenly, you can chop some chocolate if you like.

Peste ciocolata intindem in start uniform nuca taiata bucati mici.(puteti inlocui cu alune de padure sau migdale)

We add the chopped walnuts on top of the chocolate chips evenly.(you can replace the walnuts with hazelnuts or almond)

Peste nuca, intindem in start cat mai uniform laptele condensat (eu am avut conserva de 300 ml, aici asa sunt toate, si a iesit mai uscata putin prajitura, va recomand sa puneti 400 ml!)

We pour condensed milk all over the pan (I suggest you use 400 ml condensed milk, I only had 300 ml, and it was a little bit dry)

Introducem tava in cuptorul preincalzit la 180 grade timp de 20-25 minute, pana incepe sa se rumeneasca putin; la mine a stat o idee cam mult.

We place the pan in the preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until it starts to golden brown a little; mine stayed in the oven a little bit more than it had to.

Lasati sa se raceasca complet si taiati dupa preferinta. Eu am pus tava putin in frigider, ca sa se taie mai bine.
O puteti pastra in frigider pentru mai multe zile, dupa o zi parca e si mai buna!

We remove the pan from the oven and let it cool off. We can place it in the fridge a little so it's easier to slice.

We slice it as we please. You can keep it in the fridge for days, because it gets better with each day, if it resists that long :))

Foarte simplu de facut iar daca aveti copii, cu siguranta va disparea repejor din farfurii :) Bon appetit!

It's very easy to make and  if you have children the bars will disappear in no time :)) Bon appetit!

Sper sa va placa! Bon appetit!
Hope you enjoy!
