A bit of history
Over time, sandwiches have evolved from a simple combination of ingredients into a variety of forms, tastes, and textures. This sweet sandwich combines tradition with innovation, highlighting basic ingredients that remind us of childhood, but wrapped in a modern twist. It is a versatile recipe, perfect for days when you want to add a touch of creativity to your plate.
Preparing the sweet sandwich
1. Start by preparing the semolina. Pour the milk into a small saucepan and add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar completely dissolves.
2. Once the milk begins to boil, gradually add the semolina, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Continue cooking the mixture for 5-7 minutes until the semolina becomes a firmer composition.
3. Once you achieve the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the semolina cool. This step is crucial, as semolina that is too hot will make it difficult to form the sandwich. In the meantime, you can prepare the other ingredients.
4. After the semolina has cooled, line a plate with plastic wrap or a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking. Pour the semolina onto the plate and, using a spatula, spread it out to form an even layer about 1-2 cm thick. Let it stabilize in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
5. Once the semolina has set, gently remove the plastic wrap and cut it into square or rectangular shapes, depending on your preference.
6. Spread each piece of semolina with a generous layer of chocolate cream. This choice of cream adds a decadent and rich note, perfect for satisfying a sweet craving.
7. Place a slice of Delaco Milk Core over the chocolate cream. This will add a creamy texture and delicious taste, perfectly complementing this dessert.
8. Finish the sweet sandwich by drizzling it with honey. Honey not only enhances the appearance but also provides a natural sweet taste and is a beneficial ingredient for health.
