Fara a ne opri din mixat dar la viteza mica, turnam cate putin apa fierbinte, apoi cate putin
uleiul si la urma compozitia de galbenusuri.
Cu ajutorul unei spatule, incorporam cu grija si cu miscari de jos in sus faina. O adaugam
treptat, la fel si 2 linguri din fulgii de cocos.
Turnam compozitia intr-o tava tapetata cu hartie de copt si dam la cuptorul preincalzit la
180ºC pentru circa 20-25 de minute sau pana trece testul scobitorii.
Crema:
Punem intr-o cratita laptele de cocos si cocosul proaspat trecut prin blender pana da in
clocot. Luam de pe foc si dam deoparte circa 30 de minute, pentru a obtine cat mai mult gust
din cocosul proaspat, apoi strecuram. Batem galbenusurile cu zaharul pana devin mai
albicioase, apoi le amestecam cu laptele de cocos si dam din nou la foc mic pana se ingroasa,
circa 4-5 minute. Luam de pe foc si adaugam gelatina care a fost deja inmuiata in apa pentru
2-3 minute si scursa.
Dupa ce crema de cocos s-a racit, o amestecam cu frisca cu ajutorul unei spatule.
Pentru asamblare, taiem un cerc din blat care va fi cu un centimetru mai mic decat forma in
care il vom pune. Imbracam cu hartie de copt o forma rotunda cu fundul detasabil, turnam o
treime din crema si presuram 2 linguri de fulgi de cocos. Asezam blatul in centru apoi turnam
restul de crema si presaram inca doua linguri de fulgi de cocos.
De fapt este o prajitura cu nuca, nuca de cocos si crema de ciocolata cu mascarpone. O prajitura simpla, deloc
complicat de preparat. Va dau si voua reteta la prajitura cu nuca si crema mascarpone in cazul in care vreti sa va
rasfatati musafirii cu ceva bun. Dar cred ca ar putea sta foarte bine si pe lista voastra cu retete de prajituri pentru
Craciun
La final, albusurile se bat spuma tare cu un praf d sare, ca pentru bezea si se adauga in compozitia cu nuca, in 2-3
reprize, amestecand usor cu o spatula, cu miscari de jos un sus.
Se toarna in tava (20/30 cm) tapetata cu hartie de copt si se coace la foc mediu (sau 150 grade cuptor electric cu
ventilatie) timp de cca 30 de minute.
Verificati din cand in cand, blatul trebuie sa fie ferm la atingere, dar moale.
Blat cu nuca de cocos pentru Prajitura cu nuca si crema
mascarpone:
Albusurile se bat spuma tare cu un praf de sare. Se adauga zaharul si se mixeaza pana spuma devine lucioasa si se
tine bine de paletele mixerului. Se aromeaza dupa gust cu esenta de vanilie, se toarna in ploaie fulgii de cocos si
faina si se amesteca usor cu o spatula, cu miscari de jos in sus.
Compozitia o punem intr-o tava (20/30 cm) tapetata cu hartie de copt si dam la cuptor la foc mediu pentru cca 30-35
de minute, pana blatul se rumeneste usor deasupra. Scoatem blatul pe un gratar si-l lasam la racit, cu tot cu hartia de
copt.
Pentru decor se mixeaza smantana pentru frisca pana prinde consistenta. Se adauga zaharul pudra si crema de
branza si se mixeaza pana crema devine ferma.
Prajitura cu nuca si crema mascarpone se asambleaza in tava in care am copt blaturile, tapetata cu folie alimentara.
Punem unul din blaturi, jumatate din crema, celalalt blat si jumatate de crema. Invelim in folie si dam la frigider.
Inainte de servire prajitura se orneaza cu crema de frisca.
Churros
125 g faina
50 g unt
50 ml ulei
250 ml apa
1/4 lingurita de sare
1 lingura zahar
3 oua
esenta de vanilie
Apa se pune la fiert impreuna cu untul, uleiul, zaharul si sarea. Cand incepe sa clocoteasca se pune faina, toata
deodata si se amesteca energic cu un tel, pana se desprinde aluatul de pe fundul vasului. Lasam putin sa se
raceasca, apoi adaugam ouale unul cate unul amestecand bine dupa fiecare si esenta de vanilie.
Punem aluatul intr-un posh, cu dui in forma de stea si plonjam aluatul direct in tigaia cu ulei bine incins.
Eu am modelat aluatul sub forma de bastonase. Am spritat aluatul in tigaie si cand a ajuns la lungimea dorita l-am
taiat cu ajutorul unui foarfece de bucatarie. Daca vi se pare prea greu, puteti sprita aluatul pe bucatele de hartie de
copt si le puneti la prajit cu hartia de copt in sus (aceasta se va desprinde foarte repede si usor)
Se prajesc la foc mediu pe ambele parti si se scot pe un platou acoperit cu servetele de bucatarie.

For Decor
cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 300°F. With 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter grease the bottom and sides of
10X3 inch round baking spring pan. Cut parchment paper to fit the bottom and place it on the
bottom of the pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, skim-milk ricotta, fresh lemon juice and vanilla
extract until creamy. In a stand-up mixer whip 6 eggs and 2 cups of sugar at medium-high speed
for about 6-7 minutes. Add ricotta mixture to whisked eggs and whip just until blended. Sift 3
cups all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons baking powder. Pour the sifted flour into the batter and
gently mix with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 90 minutes, or
until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cool the cake completely and remove it from the pan. Peel off the parchment
paper. With a serrated bread knife cut off the top of the cake to even it out .
Slice the cake horizontally into 3 slices, these will be your 3 layer.
Preheat oven to 400°F and bake the trimmed top for 10 minutes. Cool
completely, place into a zip lock bag and roll out to make crumbs. You will
use this to decorate the sides of the cake.
To make chocolate ganache, place 2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips into
a heat-resistant bowl. In a saucepan bring 1 cup of heavy cream to a boil and
pour it over the chocolate chips. Let it rest for a minute and with a rubber
spatula fold it in until completely mixed and smooth. Mix in 1 tablespoon of
rum and set aside. To make cream cheese mousse, in a small bowl combine
1/2 cup cold water and 2 packets of gelatin, set aside.
In a stand-up mixer whisk together 5 egg yolks and 2/3 cup of sugar for about
2 minutes. While still whisking, slowly pour in the rest of hot heavy cream and
whisk until blended. Pour the cream back into the sauce pan and cook over
medium heat, stirring back and forth with a rubber spatula for about 3-4
minutes. Pour gelatin water through a cheese cloth and add gelatin into the
cream. Mix until gelatin melts and cream is smooth.
In a stand-up mixer over high heat whisk 2 packs of cream cheese for about 2
minutes, until smooth and creamy. Add white chocolate chip ganache and
whisk until blended. While still whisking, pour in cooked cream and 1
tablespoon of rum and whisk until blended. Using a rubber spatula scrape off
sides and bottom of the bowl and whisk again. Set aside to cool until the
cream cheese mousse thickens a little.
To assemble, place the bottom layer of the ricotta cake into the 10X3 inch
round spring form and with a pastry brush moisten the cake with 1/3 of strong
coffee. Spread 1/3 of chocolate ganache over the cake. Pour in half of cream
cheese mousse over the cake. Place the second layer of ricotta cake over the
cream and moisten with 1/3 of espresso. Spread half of leftover chocolate
ganache evenly over the cake. Pour in the rest of cream cheese mousse over
the cake and top with the last layer of ricotta cake. Moisten with the rest of
espresso and evenly spread the rest of chocolate ganache. Wrap the cake in
plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
Take the cake out of the freezer and discard of plastic wrap. Run a sharp
knife under hot water and run it along the sides of the cake to release the
cake from the rim. Carefully remove the rim and transfer the cake unto a cake
stand.

the cake out of the pan when it’s done. Put a cardboard cake circle in the bottom of the pan. Line the
sides of the pan with parchment paper. The parchment paper should stick up above the top edge of the
pan (see example).
NOTE: You should be using the same 8-inch pan you used for the cake. Not all 8-inch pans are exactly the
same size. Your cake needs to fit in this pan.
