Full Recipe:
Ingredients
For the Fruit Mixture:
1 cup grapes
2 apples, chopped
2 peaches, sliced
400 g condensed milk
400 g sour cream
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
For the Chocolate Topping:
200 g chocolate bar
200 g sour cream (for topping)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Fruits
Wash and chop the fruits: Start by washing the grapes, apples, and peaches thoroughly under cold water. Remove any seeds or stems.
Chop the fruits: Chop the apples into bite-sized pieces, slice the peaches, and leave the grapes whole or halved, depending on your preference. Set the prepared fruits aside.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Base
Mix the condensed milk and sour cream: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 400 g of condensed milk and 400 g of sour cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add egg yolk and vanilla essence: To the creamy mixture, add 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence. Whisk everything together until fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: Combine the Fruits and Creamy Base
Mix the fruits with the cream: Gently fold the chopped apples, peaches, and grapes into the creamy mixture. Make sure that all the fruits are evenly coated with the cream mixture.
Transfer to a serving dish: Once everything is combined, pour the fruit and cream mixture into a serving dish or individual bowls. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Topping
Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, break the chocolate bar into small pieces and melt it using a double boiler method or by microwaving it in 30-second intervals. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Mix with sour cream: Once the chocolate is melted, add 200 g of sour cream to the chocolate and stir until well combined. The mixture should be creamy and glossy.
Step 5: Add the Chocolate Topping
Pour the chocolate topping: Carefully pour the chocolate-sour cream mixture over the fruit and cream layer. Spread the chocolate topping evenly over the top of the dish, making sure all the fruit is covered.
Chill the dessert: Place the dessert in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until the topping is set and the flavors have had time to meld together.
Step 6: Serve
Slice and serve: Once the dessert has chilled and the chocolate has set, slice it into portions and serve chilled. You can garnish with extra fruit slices or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for presentation.
Cooking Tips
Fruit Selection: You can substitute or add other fruits like bananas, strawberries, or pineapples for a different flavor profile. Just make sure the fruits are fresh and not overly ripe to avoid too much moisture in the dessert.
Chocolate Options: For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. You can also try white chocolate or milk chocolate, depending on your personal preference.
