The recipe for sweets from baby food comes from the USSR. Over time, several variations on this topic have appeared. If earlier a kind of "Truffles" was prepared from food for babies, now you can make sweets similar to "Rafaello" or ice cream "Lakomka".
Truffle from the USSR
Baby food sweets are completely natural, so even babies can enjoy them. Here is one of the recipes of the last century. To prepare it, take:
- 400 g of baby food with "Malysh" buckwheat (this is 1 package);
- 0.5 cups of milk;
- 1, 5 cups of sugar (slightly less);
- 1 glass of ground walnuts;
- 4 tablespoons cocoa;
- 200 g of butter;
- cocoa and powdered sugar for boning.
Pour milk into a saucepan, add butter, cut into pieces, sugar, cocoa. Place the container on low heat. Sometimes stirring the mass with a spoon, bring it to a hot state. There is no need to wait for the boil. When sugar and butter are dissolved, remove from heat.
Pour baby food into the mass while it is still hot. Mix thoroughly with a spoon. Add the nuts and mix the sweet dough again. You can grind the nuts in the most suitable way for you, using: a food processor, a meat grinder or a coffee grinder. The latter method was the most popular in the USSR, but not everyone had this kitchen technique. Therefore, a mechanical meat grinder helped to grind nuts.
Wait until the mass has cooled down - then it will be easier to sculpt from it. During this time, stir it 2 times so that the sweet dough becomes homogeneous.
Combine cocoa and powdered sugar in a bowl. Form the candies from the cooled mass into a cone, roll them in the sweet mixture and put on a plate. Put in the refrigerator for 2 hours, after which you can enjoy delicious and natural sweets from baby food.
Nice additions
You can take other milk mixtures for this dessert, for example, "Baby" and easily turn "Truffle" into "Golden Niva" sweets. To do this, exclude ground nuts from the recipe. Also prepare the base, but roll not in powder and cocoa, but in waffles. Ready-made wafer cakes are suitable for this. Break two of them into several pieces. Put on a board, grind with a crush or roll a rolling pin over them several times. Delicious boning can be made with nuts. To do this, grind them in the same way - with a rolling pin or a crush, so that small pieces come across.
You can melt a chocolate bar over low heat by adding 3 tbsp. milk. After that, you need to take one candy at a time (without deboning) with a spoon and dip it on all sides in the glaze. Then put the sweetness in one row on a dish and keep in the refrigerator for 3 hours. Candy looks amazing in a chocolate coat.
Sweets "Lakomka" and "Rafaello"
With ice cream, sweets are no less appetizing. To make sweets, take:
- 1 pack of "Baby";
- 200 g ice cream;
- 150 g softened butter;
- 0, 5 packs of cocoa.
Place all ingredients in a mixer, which will turn them into a smooth paste. Make sweets in the form of balls, roll them in cocoa, refrigerate for 2 hours.
Turn baby food into Rafaello candy. Mix a pack of baby formula "Baby" with 150 g of softened butter, 200 g of ice cream. Shape into round candies with almonds in each. Dip the balls in the coconut and chill.
