leche frita al horno & cinnamon mocha shot
leche frita al horno served w/ a thick chocolaty mini mocha
IngredientsMakes: 200g (1)
| 100g | leche frita al horno | (recipe below) | |
| 100g | cinnamon mocha shot | (recipe below) |
Method
| 'Leche Frita' in a Spanish dessert traditionally eaten at Easter, the centre is very similar to a panna cotta except it set w/ cornflour instead of gelatine very simlar to a blancmange. This one if flavoured w/ orange so I guess you could call the centre an orangemange ; ) |
| Anyway I digress, this was an experiment to see if you could make a leche frita in a kitchen that had no fryers, only ovens and tops. |
| The answer was a resounding yes! A very tasty yes at that! |
| We had them on pancake day instead of pancakes - and yes they do go very well w/ maple syrup . . . I love fusion! |

Making the Set Milk . . . |

| Line a baking tray w/ a silpat or baking parchment and place a generous pinch of cinnamon sugar in the spot where each slice will go. |
| This adds flavour to the bottoms but more importantly * * stops them sliding about * * when you move the tray. |
