Ingredients:
- For the Tart:
- 2 packages of heavy cream
- 50g powdered sugar
- 100g mascarpone cheese
- 100ml milk
- 100g Lotus biscuit spread
- 1 package Lotus biscuits
- For the Topping:
- 100g Lotus biscuit spread
- Crushed Lotus biscuits for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare Lotus Cream Mixture:
- In a bowl, combine the Lotus biscuit spread and milk. Microwave for 1 minute and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Whip the Cream:
- Whip the heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until it becomes more consistent. Add the mascarpone cheese and whip just until the mixture is voluminous but not stiff like whipped cream.
- Combine Creams:
- Gently fold the cooled Lotus cream mixture into the whipped cream mixture using a spatula, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.
- Assemble the Tart:
- Line a rectangular pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap.
- Spread one-third of the cream mixture into the pan and smooth it out. Place a layer of Lotus biscuits over the cream (about 6 biscuits, depending on the size of your pan).
- Repeat with another layer of cream, then biscuits, and finish with the remaining cream. Smooth the top and cover with a final layer of biscuits.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 5 hours.
- Prepare the Topping:
- Before serving, warm the 100g of Lotus biscuit spread and pour it over the frozen tart. Sprinkle with crushed Lotus biscuits for added texture.
Serve:
- Remove the tart from the freezer a few minutes before serving to soften slightly, making it easier to cut. Serve chilled for a refreshingly sweet treat.
Enjoy this heavenly Frozen Lotus Biscuit Tart, where each bite offers a cool relief filled with delightful flavors and textures, perfect for any summer day!
