Lemon Cookie Dessert / Apple Streusel Bars
Following Levi's idea of posting about food and because it's been gazillions of years I've posted some food, a couple desserts:
Apple Streusel Bars. The source of the recipe is Lovin' from the Oven. Curiously on this post there were lots of shenanigans happening though it doesn't got anything to do with the recipe itself. >>;;
Followed her adaptation of the recipe (used a 9x9 dish) and if it weren't because I was watching Tumbling, it wouldn't have been burnt a bit (I let it on the oven a couple minutes more than necessary ^^;;)
Another adjustments: Kim used 3 tsp of cinnamon, I used 2 1/2. And didn't glazed it. Definitely the sweetness was enough to add the glaze.
Definitely I'm pretty mada mada dane at baking and what made me suffer A LOT was the damn metric system.
How many grams are 2 cups of butter? OK, XXX oz. My butter package DOESN'T state the weight in ounces. D<
Yes, I flunk conversion in junior high, thank you, and I was without internet at the apartment to look for it. Ain't it crazy how we depend of such things?
Also forgot which damn number in the oven was 350°F. Did I told you I only have 1-2-3-4-5. I checked the manual but it has the convertion in celsius. xDD
Note to self: gotta get my stats right before baking. >>;;
But it was tasty, I can assure you. Lil'Sis praised it. ::beams in happiness::
So most probably, the next one will be better. XDD
Now, a foolproof recipe, sponsored by Nestlé:
Lemon Marie Biscuit Dessert
For a 9x13 dish, I used 2 rolls of Marie biscuits
1 can of condensed milk
1 can of half cream
1 can of evaporated milk
Half glass of lemon juice, strained. (I asked Edú for the recipe, so i'm not that certain) Is this almost a cup? 6 small lemons? 3-4 medium lemons?
1/2 can of peaches, chopped. You can use canned pinneaple as well, or if you want, fruit cocktail.
Mix together the canned milks together, you can use the blender, in this case, Mama Bear lent me her hand mixer.
Add the lemon juice and you can notice the change of texture, it will thicken. If you aren't that convinced of the amount of lemon juice, you can add it little by little until you get lemony taste, but not too acid. And the consistency must be thick.
Spread cookies in the bottom of your dish, trying to cover it evenly. You can break the cookies to make them match.
Cover with the lemon mix and add some chooped fruit.
Add another sheet of cookies, more lemon mix, fruit, and so on until the top of your dish (like 4-5 layers).
Cover with some foilwrap and refrigerate at least for 2-3 hours, you can use the freezer to accelerate the process.
Cut in squares and serve.
I'm missing a final product sheet, because it ran out before I had the chance of taking a pic. ^^;;
I wonder if you have a local version of this one, as I'm having trouble knowing if you have this kind of cookies. (Marie biscuits? according to wikipedia O.o)
Will this can work with Graham crackers? >>;;
