Lemon Custard Layered with Savoiardi Biscuits

Ingredients

For the Dessert:

• Savoiardi biscuits: 200 g
• Milk: 100 ml (for soaking the Savoiardi biscuits)

For the Lemon Custard:

• • Eggs: 2 large
  • Lemon juice: 30 ml (approximately 2 tablespoons)
  • Sugar: 60 g

• • Cornstarch: 50 g
  • Milk: 500 ml (for the custard)
  • Condensed milk: 2 tablespoons

• Butter: 30 g

Instructions (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Prepare the Lemon Custard

1. 1. Separate the eggs: Begin by separating 2 large eggs into yolks and whites. Place the yolks in a medium bowl and set the whites aside for another recipe or discard them if not needed.
   2. Mix the egg yolks and sugar: Add 60 g of sugar to the egg yolks and whisk together until smooth and pale. This should take about 2-3 minutes of vigorous whisking.

1. 1. Add the lemon juice and starch: Once the egg yolks and sugar are well combined, add 30 ml of lemon juice and 50 g of cornstarch. Whisk until smooth, making sure there are no lumps.
   2. Heat the milk: In a medium saucepan, heat 500 ml of milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.
   3. Temper the egg mixture: Slowly pour a small amount of the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. This will help prevent the eggs from scrambling. Gradually add the rest of the hot milk while whisking continuously.

1. Cook the custard: Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and return it to medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a whisk or spatula until the mixture thickens and reaches a smooth, pudding-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add condensed milk and butter: Once the custard has thickened, remove it from the heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of condensed milk and 30 g of butter. Mix until the butter is fully melted and the custard is smooth. Set the custard aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Dessert

1. 1. Soak the Savoiardi biscuits: Pour 100 ml of milk into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each Savoiardi biscuit into the milk, making sure not to soak them for too long, as they can become too soggy. The biscuits should be moist but still hold their shape.

1. 1. Layer the biscuits: In a serving dish or individual dessert cups, arrange a layer of soaked Savoiardi biscuits at the bottom.
   2. Add a layer of custard: Spoon a generous layer of the lemon custard over the biscuits, spreading it evenly.
   3. Repeat the layers: Continue layering the soaked Savoiardi biscuits and custard until you run out of ingredients. The top layer should be custard.

Step 3: Chill and Serve

1. Chill the dessert: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is fully set and chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together and the custard to firm up.
2. Garnish and serve: Before serving, you can garnish the dessert with a sprinkle of lemon zest, a dusting of powdered sugar, or some fresh berries for added flavor and decoration.

Cooking Tips

• • Soaking the biscuits: When soaking the Savoiardi biscuits in milk, be sure to dip them quickly. They absorb liquid very fast and can easily become too soggy if left in the milk for too long.

• • Make it tangier: If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, feel free to increase the amount of lemon juice to 40 ml. You can also add some lemon zest to the custard for an extra citrusy punch.
  • Use a double boiler: If you’re worried about curdling the eggs while making the custard, you can use a double boiler to gently heat the custard mixture. This method provides more control over the temperature and helps prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly.
  • Add vanilla: For a richer, more complex flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the custard mixture when cooking it. Vanilla pairs beautifully with lemon.

• Serving ideas: This dessert can be served in a large trifle dish, in individual cups, or even as a layered dessert in glass jars for a beautiful presentation.

Storage

• • Refrigeration: Store the dessert in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. Make sure to keep it chilled until ready to serve, as the custard needs to stay cold.
  • Freezing: This dessert does not freeze well due to the custard’s delicate texture. It is best enjoyed fresh and chilled from the fridge.

Nutritional Insights and Serving Suggestions

These chocolate-topped buns with pistachios are not only a treat for the taste buds but also offer some nutritional benefits.

Key Ingredients:

Milk: Provides calcium, vitamin D, and protein, essential for bone health and growth, especially for children.

Yeast: Besides helping the dough rise, yeast adds B vitamins and some minerals to the buns.

Eggs: A great source of high-quality protein and various essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, riboflavin, and selenium.

5-Minute Banana Mousse Dessert – A Classic Italian Delight

Ingredients

• 3 bananas
• 30 g (2 tbsp) butter
• 250 ml (1 cup) milk
• 40 g (⅓ cup) corn starch
• 250 ml (1 cup) cream
• 150 g (⅓ cup + 2 tbsp) condensed milk

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Bananas

Start by slicing the 3 bananas into thin, even pieces. The slices should be small enough to cook through quickly and break down easily into a smooth puree.

Fry the Bananas

In a large frying pan, melt 30 g of butter over low heat. Once the butter has melted, add the banana slices to the pan. Cook the bananas gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become lightly caramelized. The gentle frying process enhances the natural sweetness of the bananas and brings out a rich, buttery flavor.

2. Make the Banana Base

Once the bananas are soft, use an immersion blender to blend them into a smooth puree. You can also use a regular blender if you prefer. The goal is to create a creamy, lump-free banana mixture.

Add Milk and Cornstarch

Pour 250 ml of milk into the banana puree and add 40 g of cornstarch. Stir the mixture well to ensure the cornstarch dissolves completely, avoiding any lumps. Cornstarch will act as the thickening agent, giving the mousse its silky texture.

3. Thicken the Banana Mixture

Transfer the banana mixture to a saucepan and cook it over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard-like consistency, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat.

4. Cool the Custard Base

Pour the thickened banana mixture into a bowl. To prevent a skin from forming, cover the surface of the custard base directly with plastic wrap (in contact). Set it aside to cool to room temperature.

5. Whip the  Cream and Condensed Milk

While the custard base is cooling, prepare the cream mixture. In a separate bowl, whip 250 ml of cream with 150 g of condensed milk using a hand mixer. Beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. The cream should hold soft peaks, but be careful not to overwhip it, as you want a smooth, airy texture for the mousse.

6. Combine the Cream and Banana Mixture

Once the banana custard base has cooled, beat it with a mixer until smooth. Gradually fold the cooled banana custard into the whipped cream and condensed milk mixture. Continue to gently mix and beat the ingredients until they are fully combined, creating a light and creamy mousse.

7. Chill and Serve

Transfer the banana mousse into a pastry bag for easy serving. You can pipe the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls for an elegant presentation. Alternatively, simply spoon the mousse into your preferred serving dishes.

For the best results, chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and gives the mousse a more structured texture.

Optional Toppings

For extra flavor and texture, you can garnish the banana mousse with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, grated  chocolate, or even chopped nuts. Fresh banana slices or a drizzle of caramel sauce also make excellent finishing touches.
