Instrukcja
How to make no-bake Karpatka
Start by making the pudding, as it needs to cool down to room temperature.
Pour off about half a glass of milk and mix the two puddings in it.
500 ml milk, 2 packages vanilla pudding
Heat the rest of the milk together with sugar and vanilla sugar.
100 g sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
Add the mixed pudding to the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens.
Cover the top of the pudding with plastic wrap and let it cool (to room temperature!).
Beat the soft butter on high speed with a mixer until it's very light - I beat it for up to 10 minutes.
100 g butter
Scrape down the butter stuck to the sides of the bowl with a spatula and start adding the pudding one tablespoon at a time.
Mix until combined into a smooth cream.
Line the mold with baking paper and spread the choux pastry puffs on the bottom, covering the entire base.
approx 160 g choux pastry puffs
Spread the pudding cream over the choux pastry puffs and level the surface.
If you are adding strawberries to the Karpatka, layer them now on top of the cream (you'll find instructions on how to prepare them below).
Sprinkle choux pastry puffs on top of the Karpatka and gently press down.
Refrigerate the cake for several hours so that the choux pastry puffs soften slightly from the cream.
How to make strawberries for Karpatka
Cut the strawberries into smaller pieces and transfer them to a saucepan (if they are frozen, you don't need to thaw them beforehand), add sugar and water.
approx 150 g strawberries, approx 30 g sugar , approx 60 ml water
Cook until the fruit releases some juice and softens slightly.
Mix the potato starch with a little water and add to the strawberries - stir constantly while cooking until they thicken.
1 teaspoon potato starch
Cool the strawberries before adding them to the pudding cream.
