Oreos and lemon mousse









When I made this dessert for first time (about 1 month ago) the kids said was the best dessert:)
But I know why : They love Oreos (only buy sometimes lol)
But I think a dessert with Oreos would be good!
I adapted this recipe from the cookbook of Pamela Villar from Argentina.







Ingredients
(6 servings)

Lemon mousse

6 yolks
1/2 cup of lemon juice (125 ml)
200 grs. sugar
80 grs. cold butter
100 ml water
2 whites
1 lemon (the peel grated)
+ 200 grams Oreos cookies

Method
In a saucepan put the yolks and cook  over low heat   mixed with lemon juice and half the sugar.

 Stir constantly with a wire whisk just until thickened.
 Take out del of heat  and add the diced cold butter, stirring rapidly with whisk to make  a lemon curd.

Place the remained sugar  in another saucepan and cover with water and boil for a while until it forms a syrup ready.

 Beat the whites until stiff and add  the syrup in the form of thread to get an Italian meringue.
Continue beating until cool so join the lemon curd with meringe mixing very gently and add lemon zest and set aside.

 Process half of oreo cookies and distribute about two tablespoons of lemon mousse in each glass  and then add a tablespoon or a little more crushed crackers and cover with two tablespoons of mousse.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Before serving garnish with Oreo cookies.

Cuando hice este postre (hace más o menos 1 mes) mis hijos me dijeron que era EL mejor pero yo sé que es por las galletas Oreo que les encantan.
(y las compro muy de vez en cuando) pero para este postre quedaron muy buenas.
Creo que es por la combinación mousse de limón/chocolate.
En todo caso es simple y delicioso.
Está adaptado de una receta de Pamela Villar (chef argentina) y de la que he hecho varias recetas.

Ingredientes
(6 copas o vasos)

6 yemas
1/2 taza de jugo de limón
200 grs. de azúcar
80 grs. de mantequilla bien fría
100 ml de agua
2 claras
ralladura de 1 limón
2 paquetes de galletas Oreo
(unos 200 grs.)

Preparación

En una ollita cocinar a fuego suave las yemas ya mezcladas con el jugo de limón y la mitad del azúcar revolviendo constantemente con un batidor manual de alambre justo hasta que espese .
Retirar del fuego e incorporar la mantequilla bien fría en cubos revolviendo rápidamente con el mismo batidor para hacer una especie de lemon curd.

Hervir hasta obtener un almíbar de pelo .
Batir las claras a punto de nieve y luego agregar el almíbar en formas de hilosin dejar de batir hasta obtener un merengue italiano. brillante y firme.
Seguir batiendo hasta que esté frio.
Unir el curd de limón con el merengue italiano mezclando suavemente agregar la ralladura de limón y reservar.

Príncipes/ princes (chilean treats)










Chilean cuisine has his roots in the fusion  of native peoples and Spanish food that has been transmitted orally from old notebooks and by relatives who pass from generation to generation.

This is about treats because you know also we have empanadas seafood stews fishes and corn puddings.
