recycling Around Easter to me and the boyfriend arrived in a sweet gift from his grandmother in Abruzzo, a sort of giant frosted shortbread. It was a time when the sweets in my house lacked certain because of the holidays, so the bundle has been in the kitchen cupboard for a couple of weeks, with results that will not further the consistency of tortabiscotto ...
In my home I was taught not to eat stuff that never gets thrown away, and at the bottom of the tortabiscotto was still very good, just a little 'duretta. Perhaps we could eat it and only by a little more milk, but ... you want to put to have a baseline to test? I am so looking
documented a series of recipes on the Internet to recycle biscuits, bread and various baked goods, such as these tidbits
nice brandy or this cake for recycling dove Easter eggs ...
Intrigued by a couple of recipes, while I chopped the cake in the food processor and I have weighed up the crumbs: I have about 750g of chopped tortabiscotto to exploit.
First I decided to make these cookies
cherry, in which the crushed cookies are used to ... the stuffing! First I made the pastry following the doses of the linked recipe, but I added a little 'flour until the dough has ceased to incorporate whatever style touch Blob - The Blob. Blob was put in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap while preparing the filling. We need to use 300gr or sponge cake or Secchisecchi 400g of biscuits, so I cut off the head of the bull and I used 350gr. I've put back into the food processor, I added 270g of melted black cherry jam on the fire and I mixed with the blades. Then I added a little bit of rum, the only liquor I have at home that might go along well, and inserts. Then technically I had to add some peanuts, I had no right to possess, and two or three tablespoons of cocoa, which I forgot beautifully.
So I fought hard with all my might to convince the two bodies to join as described in the recipe, and there are broadly successful. But I have followed the instructions to cover the meringue over because I do not particularly exalted ... I say that even from "bare" are very special! Do not know how virtually black cherry, rum is still felt, and the crust is perfectly matched with the filling is in taste and texture.
experiment number one, therefore, promoted.
The experiment number two had to be technically
this cake of bread and nuts candied orange , somehow replacing bread with tortabiscotto. In reality, then when I found myself in it I did not buy anything orange (neither true nor candied orange) and even hazelnuts. In short, I was a bit 'dismounted. And I did not even really want chocolate at the end. So I thought about what kind of cake I wanted at that moment, something more delicate. It 'came out really good ... and I must say that to me it is back in the mind of Purgatory Pie Corrierino families of Guareschi, who inhabited the evening reading in the family ... in his honor, the name of the cake:)
Purgatory to lemon curd cake and almonds 
250gr tortabiscotto
250ml milk 100g of sugar 2 tablespoons
limoncello cream 5 tablespoons lemon curd
(which I have prepared two weeks ago ... sbav!)
80gr almond
3 eggs 1 teaspoon baking powder
I warmed the milk without boiling, I chopped the tortabiscotto and I wet it with milk heat, stirring until did not become a children's meals. I added 100g of sugar, I mixed it all and let rest a bit. Then I added the cream of limoncello, the lemon curd, I chopped the almonds and I added to the mixture, I whisked 3 eggs apart and then I added them to the mixture, then I put the bag of baking powder
( throughout. that is, its also the paper bag, I fell into it. maybe you avoided here.) .
The compound was quite frothy:) I greased and floured cake tin with a hinge and after about 45-50 minutes of cooking with the oven - preheated - 180 °
(mine was actually 200 °, but for me it is a His problem:) in the ovens "normal" would put 180 ° peacefully!) I baked the cake, after the toothpick test.
The board is not even like me and do not cook in the oven with other things like cookies to rum that require a couple of openings of the oven door during cooking to see if they are cooked or burnt, because they are already poor will not rise much pie if blocked then the growth has not just blame.
But despite coming off a cake is not very high ... is too good! * _ *
"And 100gr tortabiscotto you progressed?", You say ... Well, I think between today and tomorrow will be sacrificed in the most classic chocolate salami * รง *
Hoping not to have bored with this long post and you got some nice idea to recycle the leftovers ... I wish you bon appetit! ^ _ ^
