Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 12

Necessary ingredients:

For the sheets:
- 12 tablespoons of oil (choose a neutral oil, such as sunflower oil)
- 12 tablespoons of sugar
- 12 tablespoons of tomato juice (this will add moisture and a surprising taste)
- 3 eggs (preferably at room temperature for better mixing)
- 1 teaspoon of ammonium bicarbonate extinguished in lemon juice
- 700-800 g of flour (you can use type 000 flour for a finer texture)

For the cream:
- 1 liter of milk (you can use semi-sweet milk for a richer taste)
- 150 g of sugar
- 300 g of margarine (make sure it is at room temperature)
- 100 g of semolina (this will give consistency to the cream)
- Juice from one lemon and two oranges (these will add aroma and a fresh taste)

Step 1: Preparing the sheets

1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until they become frothy and lighter in color. This step is essential to achieve fluffy sheets.
2. Add the oil and tomato juice, continuously mixing. Surprisingly, the tomato juice will provide a pleasant moisture to the dough.
3. In another bowl, combine the flour with the ammonium bicarbonate extinguished in lemon juice. This will help the dough rise beautifully during baking.
4. Start incorporating the flour mixture into the wet composition, kneading until you obtain a homogeneous dough. If it is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it, as you want tender sheets.
5. Divide the dough into three equal parts. Roll each part on a floured surface, forming thin sheets. Use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness.
6. Bake each sheet on the bottom of a preheated baking tray at 180 degrees Celsius for about 10-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden.

Step 2: Preparing the semolina cream

1. In a large saucepan, put the milk and sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
2. When the milk starts to boil, add the semolina in a rain, continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Boil the mixture for 5-7 minutes or until it thickens.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the margarine cut into small pieces. Mix well with a mixer using the dough hooks until the margarine completely melts and the cream becomes homogeneous.
4. Finally, gradually add the lemon and orange juice, continuing to mix. This addition will give a fresh and aromatic taste to the cream.

Step 3: Assembling and serving

1. Spread the warm semolina cream evenly over each sheet. Layer the sheets on top of each other so that the cream is evenly distributed between them.
2. Place the dessert to press in a cool place (it can be in the fridge) for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to blend and the sheets to become softer.
3. Before serving, spread a generous layer of apricot jam on the top surface and sprinkle with coconut for an attractive appearance and a crunchy note.

Serving suggestions and variations

To add a splash of color and make the dessert more appealing, you can add fresh fruits on top, such as kiwi slices or raspberries. You can also experiment with different types of jam, such as cherry or berry jam, to change the flavor profile of the dessert.

Nutritional benefits

This dessert is rich in carbohydrates from flour and sugar, providing a quick source of energy. The semolina adds a good amount of fiber, and the citrus juice brings vitamin C, beneficial for the immune system. However, it is worth noting that this dessert is relatively high in calories, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I use butter instead of margarine for the cream?
Yes, butter can be successfully used instead of margarine, bringing a richer flavor.

2. How can I make the dessert lighter?
You can reduce the amount of sugar in the cream or use natural sweeteners to make the dessert less caloric.

3. Is it necessary to press the dessert?
Yes, pressing helps to homogenize the creams and makes the sheets absorb the flavor, but if you don't have time, you can skip this step.

Now that you have all the necessary information, it's time to start cooking! Creamy Fat Sheets is a dessert that will surely bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones. Enjoy!
