Vanilla Cream Squares
- 7 whole Eggs, Separated
- 1 pinch Salt
- 8 cups, 7 tablespoons, 3/4 teaspoons, 1/3 pinches Whole Milk
- 7 ounces, weight Cornstarch
- 5 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
- 12 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1-1/2 ounces, weight Vanilla Custard Powder
- 2 cups, 1 tablespoon, 2 teaspoons, 7-1/8 pinches Spring Water
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 7 ounces, weight Butter Biscuits (petit Beurre)
- 2 cups, 1 tablespoon, 2 teaspoons, 7-1/8 pinches Whipping Cream
- 3-5/8 ounces, weight White Or Dark Chocolate, Grated
- 1. Separate egg whites from yolks. Whip egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Put in fridge.
- 2. Heat milk. In the meantime, whisk together cornstarch, flour and sugar.
- 3. Whisk yolks with honey, vanilla and water. Add to the flour mixture and whisk into the hot milk. Now, the aerobic part: stir constantly until it thickens. Be careful-no lumps allowed. The cream needs to be smooth, that's why you need to stir it continuously. When cooked (thick), remove from heat and add whipped egg whites, using a spoon. You don't need to mix it too much; in this part lumps are welcome, they will later make the cream nice and foamy.
- 4. Arrange butter biscuits in a baking tray (35 X 35 cm) and cover them with the hot cream. With a long, hot knife, smooth the surface.
- 5. Whip heavy cream and cover the vanilla cream with it, smoothing the surface. Garnish with some grated dark/white chocolate. Put in the fridge overnight. Cut into squares before serving.
