Papanasi / Cheese donuts

Ingrediente:

200 grame branza de vaci
80 grame zahar
1 pliculet zahar vanilat
1/2 lingurita praf de copt
2 oua
faina cat sa lege compozitia
200 grame smantana
4 linguri de zahar
2 lingurite esenta de rom
ulei pentru prajit
1 varf de degete de sare


Mod de preparare:


Intr-un castron am amestecat bine zaharul, ouale, zaharul vanilat, sarea si praful de copt, dupa care am adaugat branza de vaci. Dupa omogenizarea compozitiei, am adaugat treptat faina pana s-a format un aluat inchegat dar totusi lipicios. Am lasat aluatul la odihnit cca. 15 minute. Intr-o tigaie am turnat aproximativ o cana de ulei si  l-am lasat pe foc sa se incinga, Cand uleiul s-a infierbantat destul, am facut niste turtite nici prea mari dar nici prea mici si le-am prajit in baia de ulei. Cat papanasi s-au scurs de ulei pe o farfurie, am amestecat smatana cu cele 4 linguri de zahar si esenta de rom, pe care am pus-o peste papanasi la servire.

Trufe cu vanilie / Vanilla tuffles

Ingrediente:

500 gr ciocolata neagra ( minim 57% cacao )
200 gr ciocolata cu lapte
400 ml smantana dulce pentru frisca
35 gr unt moale ( minim 82% grasime )
3 lingurite esenta de vanilie
5 cuisoare zdrobite
coaja rasa de la o portocala
sucul de la 1 jumatate de portocala

Mod de preparare:

Pentru inceput, intr-un vas am  topit ciocolata. In acelasi timp intr-un alt vas am pus la incalzit smantana, cisoarele, esenta de vanilie si coaja de portocala si sucul de portocala,
Cand ciocolata s-a topit iar amestecul de smatana este cald, am omogenizat cu o lingura de lemn smantana in ciocolata, dupa care am adaugat untul.
Compozitia am pus-o intr-o tava acoperita cu hartie de copt si am dat-o la congelator 2 ore si 20 de minute.
La final cu ajutorul unei lingurite am luat compozitie facand niste bilute  pe care le-am dat prin multa cacao ca sa nu se lipeasca.

Tips: La pasul in care m-am apucat sa modelez trufele am folosit o pereche de manusi chirurgicale pentru ca de la caldura mainilor, compozitia de trufe se v-a topi usor, ducand la un mic haos de ciocolata.


Ingredients:

500 gr dark chocolate ( minimum 57% cacao )
200 gr milk chocolate 
400 ml sweet cream for whipped cream
35 gr melt butter ( minimum 82% fat )
3 teaspoons vanilla essence 
5 chopped pimento
zest from an orage
juice from 1/2 orange

Preparation:

For beginning i melted the chocolate. In the same time i heat in a pan  the cream, pimento, vanilla essence, orange zest and the juice. 
When the chocolate was melt i  incorporate the cream mix and added the butter, and mixed all together with a wood spoon. 
I gave the mix to the freezer for 2h20min. 
At the final with a teaspoon i made small balls covered with cacao powder to avoid the bonding.


Tips: At the final step i used 1 pair of surgical gloves, because of the body heat the truffles will start to melt and create a small  chocolate chaos.
