Creamy dessert

Cream and cookie desserts are versatile: you can add fresh berries and fruits in summer, and canned or seasonal in winter, such as tangerines, cranberries. Oranges are always available, so such a dessert can be prepared throughout the year.

For creamy desserts without the use of gelatin, cream for whipping with a fat content of 33% or more is usually used. And for a denser consistency, cream or curd cheese is added to them. In desserts with gelatin (for example, panna cotta), cream alone with a fat content of 10 to 23% is enough. We will make a dessert without gelatin, so we will need: fatty cream (33-35%), soft melted cream cheese without additives, powdered sugar, cookies and orange.

Crush or grind biscuit biscuits in a blender. If you like an inhomogeneous crumb, with small pieces of biscuits, then it is better to crush it with your hands. For finely uniform crumbs, you need a blender.

Peel the orange. It is very important that the white soft layer between the orange and the peel is removed because it is mustard and can ruin the taste of the dessert. Next, break the orange into segments, removing films between the wedges and bones. Or use a knife and then you don't need to divide into segments, just cut out the flesh of the films covering it (this is clearly visible in the video (from a second).

Combine the chilled cream cheese with cold cream and icing sugar. It is very important to use good quality cream, which will definitely rise. Unfortunately, there are manufacturers who have the indicated fat on the package is not true and such cream does not beat even with a special thickener for cream. I usually use Parmalat cream (35%), White City (33%) or Vkusnoteevo (33%).

Whisk the mass with a mixer at medium rpm to medium pomp. At first, the mixture will be liquid, but as you beat, provided that you have high-quality cream, the mass will slowly begin to thicken. You don't need to beat too long. I whipped for about 6 minutes. The cream turned out to be very tender, not very thick (the spoon is not worth it), but also not too fluid (after the corollas there is a trace that does not tighten).

Put 2-3 tbsp. l. cream. Sprinkle crushed biscuits on top. Spread orange wedges on cookies. Spread out some more creamy cheese cream on top. Put the dessert in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Garnish the creamy dessert with orange wedges and mint before serving. Enjoy your meal!
