Honeycombs with cherry jam
Natural sugar-free dessert with Green Sugar: Cherry jam puffs
I propose a delicious and healthy recipe, perfect for moments when you crave something sweet but want to avoid refined sugar. Cherry jam puffs are an inspired choice, and the combination of ingredients will delight you. This recipe is simple but offers a spectacular result that will impress both in taste and appearance.
The history of this dessert is lost in the mists of time, with deep roots in the cooking traditions of many cultures. Puffs, also known as "boats" or "doughnuts," are a popular sweet variant, often filled with jams or preserves. The recipe I will present to you today has a modern twist, thanks to the use of Green Sugar, a natural sweetener that will allow you to enjoy sweets without worrying about sugar.
Preparation: 15 minutes
Baking: 5 minutes
Total: 20 minutes
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 4 tablespoons of Green Sugar sweetener
- 4 tablespoons of sunflower or olive oil
- 5 tablespoons of milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of ammonium quenched with vinegar
- 1 vanilla essence
- Flour (enough to obtain a thicker dough than sour cream)
- A pinch of salt
- Cherry jam (for filling)
Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by ensuring that all the ingredients are at room temperature. The eggs, milk, and oil will mix much better if they are not cold. Also, make sure you have a large bowl to mix the dough and a spatula to combine the ingredients.
Step 2: Mixing the ingredients
In a bowl, beat the 3 eggs well together with a pinch of salt, using a mixer or a whisk. Continue mixing until the eggs become frothy and light yellow. This will help aerate the dough, giving it a light and fluffy texture.
Step 3: Adding the sweetener
Gradually add the Green Sugar sweetener to the egg mixture and continue mixing. It is important to incorporate the sweetener well so that no unincorporated crystals remain in the dough.
Step 4: Oil and milk
Incorporate the oil and milk into the mixture, stirring constantly. The oil will give a pleasant flavor to the dessert, while the milk will contribute to a soft and moist texture.
Step 5: Ammonium and vanilla
Add the ammonium quenched with vinegar and the vanilla essence. The ammonium will help the dough rise during baking, bringing it an airy texture. Make sure you have quenched it well with vinegar to avoid an unpleasant taste.
Step 6: Flour
Gradually add the flour, mixing with a spatula until you obtain a dough thicker than sour cream. It is important not to add too much flour, as the dough needs to be light and soft.
Step 7: Forming the puffs
Preheat the cooking press (or pan) to medium heat. Using a teaspoon, take some of the mixture and place it in the heated press. Bake the puffs for about 5 minutes, or until they become golden and fluffy.
Step 8: Filling
After the puffs have cooled, take two and fill them with cherry jam. This combination of textures and flavors will create a pleasant contrast, and the tart sweetness of the cherries will perfectly complement the soft dough.
Step 9: Serving
Serve the puffs warm or at room temperature, alongside a cup of herbal tea or fresh lemonade. They are also ideal for sharing with friends at a gathering or party, bringing a touch of joy and health to any meal.
Practical tips:
- You can replace the cherry jam with any other type of jam or preserve, depending on your preferences. Strawberries, peaches, or blackberries are excellent options.
- If you want a more sophisticated dessert, you can add some chopped nuts to the dough for an extra crunch.
- Make sure that when using ammonium, you have good ventilation in the kitchen, as the smell can be quite strong.
