Potato Cake with Cherry and Almond
Ingredients
- Cookie 10 oz
- Butter 5 oz
- Sweetened Condensed Milk with Coffee 10 oz
- Pistachios 0 oz
- Sugar 0 oz
- Cocoa Powder 4 tablespoons
- Ground dried cherries to taste
- Liquid dark chocolate 0 oz
- Chopped almonds 25 pieces
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Grind the cookies in a food processor until they are coarse crumbs, leaving some larger pieces.
Step 2
Soak the cherries in hot water for 15–20 minutes.
Step 3
Add the condensed milk (you can substitute it with caramel if desired), sugar (I didn't add any, as I find it sweet enough), 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, softened butter, and nuts (you can use any nuts, but chop larger ones with a knife or grind them at the beginning with the cookies). Mix everything by hand until you achieve a homogeneous mass (about 5 minutes).
Step 4
Melt the chocolate. I do this in the microwave, but you can use a double boiler (if the melted chocolate isn't liquid enough, you can add a teaspoon of butter or heavy cream).
Step 5
Take a small amount of the mixture, form a ball, and place 1–2 cherries inside. Roll the ball in cocoa and place it in a paper cup.
Step 6
Pour half a teaspoon of chocolate on top and insert 1 almond. Place in the refrigerator for half an hour.
