Yellow pussies
Here is one dessert for which you do not need an oven, it does not require much of your time, it is not stored in the refrigerator, and it is contagiously delicious. These "puslice" were often made by my mother when I was a schoolboy, they were unavoidable at the birthday and holiday table, and the first of all the small cakes disappeared. According to my mother's recipe, they are made from chopped walnuts, with a little more margarine / butter and without white chocolate.
Preparation steps
- # Whisk the egg yolks, powdered sugar and vanilla sugar briefly with a mixer in a pan to combine. # Add about 25 g of butter and heat over a high heat, stirring constantly with a wire, until the mass begins to thicken (about 5 minutes). Reduce the heat and heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring, so that the mass thickens like pudding, taking care not to start boiling, because the yolks will clump. # Remove from the heat and add the remaining butter and the diced chocolate. Stir until the butter and chocolate are melted. Return to the lowest heat and heat with a mixer for another 10 minutes to get a smooth, shiny mass that will be a shade thicker than the mass before adding butter and chocolate. # Remove from heat and stir in chopped peanuts. # Optionally add ground peanuts. ** # Leave for an hour at room temperature to thicken the mass. # Line a large baking tray with baking paper. # Take out the cooled mixture with a spoon and arrange it directly on the baking tray to get kisses or shape into balls and place on the baking tray. Leave to air dry overnight. # The balls will be soft on the inside the next day, and they will have a thin dry, slightly crispy crust on the outside. # You get a full casserole of pussies.
- Notes 1. In the original recipe from my mother's old notebook, there is no white chocolate or butter, but 250 g of margarine. Only chopped walnuts are added, not ground ones. It goes plain vanilla sugar, not bourbon vanilla sugar. 2. * I put whole peanut grains or half grains. I didn't chop them. 3. ** If ground peanuts are added, the mass will be thicker and it will be easier to form balls, but drying will not create a crispy crust overnight. These balls can be rolled in ground or chopped peanuts. 4. Instead of peanuts, you can use unsalted roasted almonds, roasted hazelnuts, the already mentioned walnuts, even roasted sesame. 5. Do not store in closed containers as the crispy crust will soften.
