Classic cakes Potato cookies with condensed milk

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic Potato cake? Prepare your food. Cookies are usually the simplest sugar cookies, such as anniversary ones, for tea. But many people do it with what they have on hand: oatmeal, biscuits, biscuits. I always cook only with the traditional one, so I don’t know what the taste will be with the other one. Choose real condensed milk, without milk fat substitutes. The same goes for butter. Take it out of the refrigerator in advance, it should become soft.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grind the cookies in any way convenient for you. I have a convenient large food processor; a large amount of food can be placed in it at once; I grind it in it. Some people prefer a meat grinder; by the way, this is how cookies were made in my childhood. Or you can get by with a simple rolling pin. Place the cookies in a tight bag and beat them well with a rolling pin. In this case, the crumbs will be quite large, which, however, will not affect the taste of the cakes in any way.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place soft butter and condensed milk in a bowl. Using a fork, stir them until creamy. You can, of course, use a mixer, but in this recipe it is not important - the condition of the cream can be any, it will not affect the final result in any way. And you still have to wash the mixer. You can use a whisk instead of a fork.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add cookie crumbs to the buttercream. Mix the ingredients with the same fork until completely homogeneous.

5. STEP 5

   

   The dough will be thick enough to be molded.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place cocoa powder on a plate. Make an oblong shaped cake from the dough. Roll it in cocoa on all sides and place it on parchment. In general, potatoes can have any shape - oval or round. You can make them look as much like potatoes as possible by making uneven tubers.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the finished chocolate potatoes in the refrigerator for at least an hour. The butter should cool well and set, which will make the cakes firmer. They will be convenient and tastier to eat. Before serving, potatoes can be decorated with cream, chocolate, sprinkles. I made white dots out of cream that looked like potato sprouts.

If you liked my recipe, I think you’ll like another one: TIRAMISU CAKE, a famous Italian dessert in the form of cakes! In 15 minutes! Unlike the traditional version, this dish is served as individual balls, which contain the ingredients of a classic tiramisu: savoiardi, mascarpone and coffee. The cakes are also prepared without baking, very quickly and without any trouble.

Classic potato cakes made from cookies with condensed milk according to this recipe turned out simply gorgeous! We love desserts like these, and I love that these cakes are easy to make. I decided to make a double batch of delicious treats. I had shortbread cookies, the color was only a little dark, I wanted a white filling). But this does not affect the taste, of course). I ground it in a blender. I used quality butter, it freezes well. The soft butter was gradually mixed with a whisk with condensed milk. I used a little less condensed milk. I was guided by the thickness of the “dough”. The cakes are easy to mold and can be given any shape. I rolled it in cocoa once, but you can repeat it if you want a more “fluffy” coating. The potatoes froze perfectly in the refrigerator, and they hold their shape even at room temperature. This is a very tasty cake! Not cloying, aromatic, juicy, with the taste of chocolate! Thanks for the recipe!

And if you make the “adults only” option, you can add a drop of brandy or cognac, it’s sooo tasty

Very tasty, simple, and most importantly, you can cook it with your child. Fun and exciting for every sweet tooth! I use various cookies to make treats - anniversary, oatmeal, biscuit. The taste of the cake will largely depend on the type of cookies. Hard cookies can be lightly soaked in milk or cocoa beforehand. Wafers grated on a medium grater and added to the total mass can add a pleasant crunch to the delicacy. Bon appetit!

The son ate the cake and asked - How long to cook? If it doesn’t last long, then you need to do it more often!

You can also add raisins, nuts, add some roasted pumpkin seeds (naked pumpkin or regular sunflower seeds), and sesame seeds.
