Life happens at the table
Chef approved
They say a chef never reveals their secrets, but chef Carlos Afonso is going to break that rule to show that IKEA has kitchenware worthy of haute cuisine. In this first episode of "Chef approved" he'll teach you how to make a crème brûlée with a special twist.
Creamy milk with cinnamon cakes
Ingredients
- 1 liter of whole milk
- 200gr of sugar
- 8 egg white
- 40gr of cornstarch (cornflour)
- Peel of 1 lemon (only the yellow part)
- 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
- Sugar to taste for burning
- KAFFEREP, cinnamon roll
- 100g butter
- Sugar and cinnamon powder
Preparation
1. Heat the milk with the lemon peel and cinnamon stick. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. In a bowl, add the cornstarch and sugar; mix well and add the egg yolks, whisking until you obtain a pale cream.
3. Remove the lemon peel and cinnamon stick from the hot milk. Pour the hot milk over the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly.
4. Put everything to low heat, stirring until thickened. Do not let it boil too much to avoid curdling.
5. Divide into bowls, let cool, and refrigerate.
6. In a frying pan, melt the butter, brown the cinnamon rolls on both sides, coat with sugar and cinnamon, and set aside. Use a blowtorch to caramelize the cinnamon rolls all over.
Plate and serve.
