I have a recipe for a wonderful trileçe with lots of milk and a soft cake. When you make it, you will see that it will be one of the best you have ever eaten.
Ingredients
- 1 liter milk
- 500 g milk cream
- 150 g milk powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 5 pieces egg
- 1 packet vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 12 g baking powder
- 6-7 tablespoons chocolate sauce or ready-made chocolate jelly
Preparation
- For the Syrup of Chocolate Trileçe Dessert: In a deep pot, add 150 g milk powder (the standard milk powder you use when drinking Nescafe), 1 liter milk (three different types of milk are used in the original, which is where the name comes from), 500 g milk cream and half cup sugar. Heat the mixture on the stove, stirring constantly, until the milk powders completely disappear. Be careful not to boil too much. It is sufficient for the syrup to be at a lukewarm consistency. Remove the syrup from the stove by stirring and let it rest for a while.
- For the Cake of Chocolate Trileçe Dessert: First, separate the white and yolk of 5 pieces egg. Take the yolk into a bowl and whisk well. Take the white into a deep bowl. Add 1,5 cups powdered sugar on top. Whisk well with a mixer until it foams well and turns into snow white. Then, add the egg yolk little by little on top and continue to whisk for a while longer.
- On the other hand, in a deep bowl, put 3 cups flour, 1 packet vanilla, 12 g baking powder, and mix well. Pour the egg mixture you just whisked over it. Mix from bottom to top in the same direction using a spatula. Be careful to mix in the same direction with the spatula so that the mixture does not deflate.
- Pour the mixture you prepared into a large square baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula. Gently shake the baking dish to ensure your cake mixture settles. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees for approximately 40-45 minutes. The cake of the Trileçe dessert needs to bake slowly at a low temperature. Therefore, it is important to cook it at 160 degrees. (Since cooking time may vary from oven to oven, check the cake without opening the lid too much during cooking.)
- Take the baked cake out of the oven and let it cool. Then, using a knife, cut it into strips lengthwise and widthwise in your desired size to divide it into slices. Pour the syrup we prepared over the warm cake, letting it soak in slowly. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours so that the cake absorbs the syrup.
- For Chocolate Sauce: On the other hand, take the chocolate sauce or chocolate jelly into a deep bowl. Pour some water over it and mix until it reaches a consistency close to boza. Pour the chocolate sauce over the rested cake and spread it well so that it covers every side. To allow the dessert to absorb the chocolate sauce, let it wait in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours more.
- You can serve the chocolate trileçe dessert that you took out of the refrigerator cold. Since chocolate trileçe dessert is a light milk dessert, you can choose it with peace of mind after dinners, including your iftar tables, or at tea times.
- In order to serve the chocolate trileçe dessert easily and neatly, we recommend baking it in a rectangular baking dish/tray with straight edges.
- Trileçe is the most famous dessert of the Albanians. The most common varieties of this beautiful milk dessert are caramel, raspberry, and chocolate trileçe dessert. Among them, the most delicious and most preferred one is the caramel trileçe dessert. If you wish, you can also take a look at the recipe for caramel trileçe dessert via our website.
