Answer 1

Tres Leches (3 milks) Dessert

Ingredients

Cake

6 eggs, separated

¾ c. sugar

1 c. flour

Syrup

1 can (410 g) evaporated milk

1 can (400 g) condensed milk

295 g heavy cream or whole milk

Topping

3 egg whites

3 tbs. sugar

Procedure

Cake

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 in. pan.

2. Beat the egg whites in a clean metal bowl until stiff peaks form. For best results, use cold egg whites directly from the refrigerator.

3. Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a separate bowl until it forms a creamy yellow mixture.

4. Stir the flour and sugar together in another bowl.

5. Add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients and blend thoroughly by hand.

6. Fold the whipped egg whites into the creamed mixture with large, gentle strokes.

7. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.

8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes or until light brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Once the cake is ready, take it out of the oven and put it into a deep dish. Let cool slightly before adding the syrup.

Syrup

1. Blend the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and cream.

2. Pour over the cake, making sure to cover it entirely. Refrigerate and cool completely.

Topping

1. Beat the remaining egg whites with the 3 tbs. of sugar until stiff peaks form.

2. Spread the meringue over the cake. Refrigerate.

Chicha de Avena Fruit Drink

A Healthy, Cool Oatmeal Drink for Summer

Ingredients

1 cup oatmeal

3 naranjilla fruits (or 3 passion fruit)

6 cups water

pinch of salt

¼ cup sugar (optional)

whole cloves and cinnamon sticks to taste

Procedure

1. Wash the naranjilla fruit and cut each one into 4 parts. You may want to peel the fruit. (If you are using passion fruit, scoop the fruit out of the passion fruit, add a little bit of water and blend. Then strain the mixture and set the juice aside, adding during the final cooking phase).

2. Put the water and cut fruit in a large Dutch oven. Add the oatmeal and salt. Boil, then reduce the heat to low, add the sugar (optional), cloves and cinnamon. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes (more for a thicker drink).

3. Once the avena is slightly thickened (the consistency of a creamy soup), remove it from the heat. Cool slightly.

4. While the mixture is still warm, blend and strain it. Keep it refrigerated so that it doesn’t spoil.

5. To serve: add a couple of teaspoons of sugar to taste, mix and enjoy.

Variation:

Pineapple can be used in place of the naranjilla or passion fruit. Omit the cloves and cinnamon. Use the rind (wash thoroughly) and core of the pineapple, and add directly to the water and oatmeal mixture. Do not use the meaty part of the pineapple, since it will add too much liquid to the avena and will take longer to thicken
