Happy day to all, I hope you are having a great week, full of success, today I want to share with everyone the recipe for one of the cold desserts preferred by almost all Venezuelans, I am talking about an exquisite Chocolate Marquise, this dessert is almost a tradition here in Venezuela, it is a combination between a chocolate cream and cookies, the truth is it is a delight, very easy to prepare, there are several recipes on how to prepare the chocolate cream, it is usually with heavy cream or condensed milk, but on this occasion I wanted to make a vegan marquise, here in the city where I live, vegan products are not very common, and when you get some they are quite expensive, so on this occasion I adapted this recipe, and I made it with what I had at home, and I assure you that it was as delicious as the original recipe, we started with the step by step.
Ingredients, for the chocolate cream:
4 and 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch or cornstarch.
2 cups of water.
3/4 cup of sugar, if you want it sweeter, you can add a cup.
6 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
2 and 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Optional, chocolate drops, or 90 percent cocoa chocolate, to decorate.
Procedure:
1- In a pot, add the water and cornstarch, mix well until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
2- Next we add the cocoa powder, and continue mixing and then add the sugar, mix well until everything is integrated, and finally we add the oil.
3- When we have all the ingredients for the cream mixed, we cook it over medium heat, without stopping stirring, so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pot. As the minutes go by, this cream will begin to boil. At this time we will remove it from the heat, the cream will have a medium thick texture.
4- Once the chocolate cream is ready, immediately, with the cream still hot, we move on to assembling the marquise, in a bowl, we add the milk, to soak the cookies. When assembling the marquise, we begin by adding a small layer of chocolate in a square mold.
5- After the small layer of chocolate, we place the cookies, we must dip each cookie in milk before placing them in the mold.
6- After the layer of cookies, we add a layer of chocolate, which covers all the cookies, and so we add another layer of cookies, and another of chocolate, I place 4 layers of cookies, and we finish with a chocolate cream.
7- Once all the layers are ready, place crushed cookies and grated dark chocolate, place in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, or until the next day.
8- After time, we remove it from the refrigerator, serve and enjoy this creamy and frozen dessert, which I assure you will love.
Until next time, my friends, I hope you liked this recipe, as always it is a pleasure to be able to share it here, see you next time, blessings.
