Step-by-step recipe for making anthill cake. Anthill cookie cakes How to make anthill cake

Anthill cake is one of the most famous desserts and is prepared quickly from simple ingredients. I offer the most classic version, but in the form of portioned cakes. Alcohol is not necessary in the cream, although it is not superfluous to enhance the taste. Usually cognac or rum is added, I liked the addition of Baileys liqueur.

Main ingredients for Anthill cake or pastries:

For the dough, combine softened butter with sugar and beat.

Add sour cream and beat again.

Then add flour and soda. There is no additional need to extinguish the soda; it will be extinguished by the acid of sour cream.

Stir into crumbs first.

And then collect the dough into a homogeneous mass and divide into pieces. You can cool them for a while or even freeze them if you then grate them.

Make flagella from the dough, grate or roll it through a meat grinder.

Spread the dough on a baking sheet, such as a silicone mat.

Bake this shortbread dough in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Break the finished sand flagella.

To prepare the cream, combine softened butter, boiled condensed milk and alcohol (rum, cognac, Baileys...). The boiled condensed milk seemed very thick to me and I added a couple of tablespoons of milk.

Mix the ingredients into a homogeneous cream by hand or using a blender.

Combine and mix the cream with sand crumbs.

Let the cake or pastries soak at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, and then place in the refrigerator. Decorate the finished Anthill cakes and serve to your taste, for example, in paper molds and with colorful sprinkles of sugar.

A simple and delicious dessert is ready.

Cook with pleasure, please your loved ones - bon appetit!

Step 1: prepare the dough.

Wheat flour can be sifted through a strainer.

Remove the margarine from the refrigerator in advance so that after standing at room temperature it becomes softer and easily creases in your fingers.

Mix wheat flour and margarine, you will get a kind of crumb dough. Rub it well between your fingers so that all the flour “sticks together.”

Meanwhile, mix the chilled heavy cream with the baking powder. Beat everything with a mixer to form a cream.

Mix the cream with flour and margarine. Knead for 3 minutes. You will end up with a dough entirely consisting of fairly large crumbs - lumps.

Step 2: grate the dough.

Take a coarse grater and use it to grind all the dough until you get fine crumbs. If the mass comes out very crumbly, then you are doing everything right.

Step 3: bake the dough.

Line a baking tray with parchment and pour the dough onto it. The mass should lie in one layer. If all the dough is not included at once, bake in several stages.
Bake in a well-heated room until 200 degrees oven for 15 minutes. The dough will brown, but will still remain crumbly. Leave it to cool at room temperature for now.

Step 4: mix condensed milk with butter.

Soften the butter, like margarine, at room temperature, and then mix with condensed milk, turning everything into a homogeneous creamy mass. You can even beat it with a mixer.

Step 5: form the cake.

Now take the boiled condensed milk with butter and mix it with the baked dough crumbs. Mix very well and form into cakes. The shape can be any, the simplest is a ball. But since the name is “Anthill,” then let’s give the mass the appropriate shape.

Take tall glasses, moisten them with water, and using a tablespoon, carefully fill them with dough with condensed milk, and then just as carefully, turning the glass over, place the cake on a cutting board.
After which the dessert will only have to sit in the refrigerator. Minimum 2 hours and better yet that's all 24 hours. If desired, decorate the cakes with chocolate or wafer crumbs, powdered sugar or roasted crushed nuts.

Step 6: Serve the cake.

Anthill cake is served chilled as a dessert. Excellent for both family tea and noisy celebrations, especially for children, although adults are not at all averse to enjoying it, despite all their newfangled diets.
Bon appetit!

To boil condensed milk, line a saucepan with a kitchen towel, without opening the can, place it on the towel and fill with water. Place everything on the stove and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours. After cooking, let cool and be careful when opening.

Anthill is a dessert that almost everyone loves. And sometimes you really want to enjoy this favorite cake or pastry, but you don’t really want to go to the store... In this case, this simple recipe will help you out "Anthill" cookie cakes, which don’t even need to be baked. You, your loved ones and guests will definitely appreciate this quick and tasty delicacy.

Ingredients

To prepare the Anthill cake you will need:

For the base:

350 g cookies;

100 g peeled nuts (any kind).

For cream:

200 g butter;

2 tsp. milk.

For chocolate glaze:

20 g dark chocolate* (99% cocoa);-

10 g butter;

2 tbsp. l. granulated sugar;

* - chocolate must contain at least 75% cocoa, I used chocolate with a cocoa content of 99%, so I added granulated sugar to the glaze. If you don’t like too sweet icing and use chocolate with a cocoa content of up to 99%, you don’t need to use granulated sugar. You can simply melt the chocolate in a water bath (without oil) and use it.

Cooking steps

Chop the cookies with a knife, quite finely, but leave a little larger pieces (if convenient, break the cookies with your hands). Do not use a blender or chopper; they will chop the cookies quite finely.

Let's prepare the cream. Add boiled condensed milk, softened butter at room temperature into a deep container, beat for 1 minute, add cold milk and beat for about 2-3 minutes. The cream for Anthill cakes is ready.

Chop the nuts with a knife and dry in a dry frying pan for 2-3 minutes with constant stirring. Cool. Add chopped nuts and cream to the cookies and mix the resulting mass thoroughly.

Cakes made from Anthill cookies are prepared quite simply and quickly, but they turn out tasty and impressive.

Most lovers of a variety of cakes have no idea that in your own kitchen you can create a truly culinary masterpiece without resorting to specialized equipment. Moreover, there are many simple recipes for making sweets, even without heat treatment of the ingredients, and from the most accessible and inexpensive products. These include recipes for “Anthill” cakes. It is so easy to prepare that even a novice cook can handle it. I offer several options for these culinary products, including dietary ones.

Required utensils: oven, large bowl, sieve, knife, mixer with bowl, baking sheet with parchment paper for it, food-grade polyethylene (film).

Margarine and butter should be removed from the refrigerator half an hour before before making the cakes so that they soften. But under no circumstances heat them on warm objects (a radiator, a hot pan lid) or heat them on the stove: this will change their structure.

Don't want to waste time on condensed milk? Buy ready-made Toffee. If you are not pressed for time, boil an unopened can of raw condensed milk for 2 hours, completely immersing it in water and covering the bottom of the pan with several layers of cloth.

"Anthill" dietary

Production time: about half an hour.
Quantity:
Required utensils: oven, baking sheet and parchment paper for it, thick-bottomed liter saucepan, blender, bowl, frying pan.

Ingredients

It is clear about the unclear

1.Agave syrup – industrial vegetable sweetener. If you are a supporter of natural products, use honey or maple syrup instead, but this will increase the glycemic index of the resulting product.

2. Oat flour is ground oats. At home, you can grind oatmeal in a blender or coffee grinder

3. You can't make your own coconut oil.: You will have to buy it in supermarkets, pharmacies or online stores. The main thing is that the packaging says “organic”.

4.Coconut flour is an expensive and scarce commodity. But it can be done in your own kitchen:

soak uncolored coconut flakes in water in a ratio of 1:4 for 4 hours;
puree with a blender;
squeeze through gauze;
Place evenly on baking sheet;
dry completely in a low-heat oven;
and blend again with a blender.

Remember that the vegetable fiber of the main ingredients of the dietary “Anthill” will make you drink a lot and will speed up intestinal motility. In people with a weak digestive system, this will manifest itself as abdominal pain and loose stools. But for healthy people, fiber will feed the beneficial microflora of the gastrointestinal tract to its fullest and remove toxins. It will also prolong the feeling of fullness.

Production time: about 20 minutes.
Quantity: depends on your sculpting talent.
Required utensils: bowl, cutting board, knife, grater, rolling pin or blender (the last three are optional).

Let's get creative

Of course, based on the name, the cakes should be cone-shaped. But this is not dogma: the consistency of the sweet mass allows you to fashion anything out of it: balls, bagels, squares and rectangles. The irregular shape will also be interesting.
Inside the cake you can put dried fruits, whole, dried in a dry frying pan, nuts, pieces of chocolate, pieces of wafer or marshmallow.
And in order not to think about decorating for a long time, go to a culinary store. There you will find sprinkles, mastic figures, coconut and chocolate chips of different colors, edible beads and lace.
Is there such a store in your area? Make colorful fondant using food coloring, melt the chocolate in a water bath, beat 1 egg white with sugar, place half or a quarter of a nut on top, sprinkle with poppy seeds, roll in coconut or chocolate shavings, crushed nuts... It’s all up to you.

How do you decorate such culinary products? Do you involve children in the process? My children decorate cakes and pastries with pleasure, even if not symmetrically, but like Vincent Van Gogh: crooked and bright. Share your experience with me in the comments and add to my collection of recipes.
