What dessert to cook for the New Year, so that it remains beautiful throughout the New Year's Eve - does not float, does not lose its shape and taste? This is what we will now find out together with you.

1. "Nuts" with condensed milk

 

Biscuits from two halves of shortcrust pastry stuffed with boiled condensed milk are usually prepared by the whole family. The cookies are called "Nuts" because they really resemble a walnut in shape.

The main feature of cookies is the shape. You need to either find it in the pantry, or buy a special form for baking "nuts".

Ingredients:

flour - 380 g; butter - 200 + 90 g; chicken eggs - 2 pcs.; baking powder for dough - 1/3 tsp; a pinch of salt; boiled condensed milk - 1 can; nuts optional.

Beat the eggs with a whisk until foamy. In a large bowl, mix the sifted flour with the baking powder, add the chopped cold butter (200 g) into pieces and rub into crumbs with your hands. Then pour the egg mass into the flour, knead the dough, wrap with cling film and refrigerate for an hour or two. 

While the dough is cooling, select condensed milk and butter (90 g) from the refrigerator; by the time the cream is prepared, they should be at room temperature.

After an hour or two, remove the dough from the cold, make small balls. Warm up the electric stove well. Lubricate the recesses of the hazelnut tree with vegetable oil and bake the halves of the future dessert. For cream, simply beat the butter with condensed milk with a mixer. Fill the finished and cooled halves with cream, hiding a whole nut or chopped nuts in the center. By the way, you can mix chopped pistachios into the cream itself, for example. It will be very tasty!

Such a dessert can easily stand at least all New Year's Eve. And how nice it is to drag a couple of "nuts" and nibble under the Christmas tree!

2. Meringue

We offer a choice of two options for preparing meringue for the New Year - with and without eggs.

Meringue without eggs

 

You will prepare this original dessert on water from canned peas! Great idea! Peas - in "Olivier", liquid - in meringue. Look!

You will need:

liquid from canned peas - 100 ml; sugar - 180 g; vanilla sugar - 1 tsp; citric acid - 1/3 tsp.

Strain the liquid from the peas. Pour into a tall bowl. And now measure the sugar and prepare the mixer, we will beat for 12 minutes! Beat only the liquid for two minutes at first, then gradually introduce sugar in portions. After another 8 minutes, add vanilla sugar and citric acid, beat for a couple more minutes. You will get a dense white mass. Place in a pastry bag and pipe the meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. 

Dry the meringue in the oven at 100 degrees for 1.5 hours. The finished meringue will be dense and easily removed from the pan. Turn off the oven and leave the meringue in it until it cools, do not open the door. It remains only to pour melted chocolate and sprinkle with confectionery topping or ground nuts. If you have a cake pan with a lid, then serve the meringue in it. Beautiful, spectacular and keep the crunch until the morning!

Classic meringue in the form of pigs

 

For meringue pigs you will need:

egg white - 1 pc.; powdered sugar - 60 g; citric acid - 1/3 tsp; food coloring red - 3 drops.

Separate the protein from the yolk. Pour the protein into a large bowl, add half the powdered sugar and beat with a mixer. After 4-5 minutes, the mass will become dense and shiny. Add the second half of the powder, citric acid and beat for another 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the dye, mix well and put the mass into a pastry bag with a nozzle. Place the circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, add the ears and nickel. Dry at a temperature of 90-100 degrees for an hour. Draw eyes and mouth with melted chocolate. 

3. "Spruce cones" - a delicious and simple dessert

 

This is a truly New Year's, delicious, elegant dessert, which, among other things, will delight guests with its beautiful appearance and wonderful taste all New Year's Eve.

Ingredients (quantity can be increased proportionally):

corn flakes - 90 g; boiled condensed milk - 180 g; walnuts, peeled and chopped - 1/2 cup; powdered sugar - to taste (to decorate the "cones").

Preparing sweet "cones" is easy. First of all, you need to chop the nuts - put them in a bag and walk with a rolling pin. Mix nuts and corn flakes with boiled condensed milk. This must be done carefully and to a relative uniformity.

Now let's take the glasses, the main thing is that they do not taper at the top - otherwise you simply won’t choose a dessert from them. Wet the glasses with water - so that the cones do not stick. We put the mixture in glasses, slightly compact it with a spoon and send it to the refrigerator for 3 hours.

After 3 hours, gently pry our “bumps” with a knife, pull out the dessert from the glasses onto a dish. We put the blunt end down, sprinkle with powdered sugar on top. Delicious and easy dessert is ready! A dish with "bumps" can be decorated with a sprig of spruce.

4. Gingerbread cookie

 

Classic! You can make holes in gingerbread cookies, insert a ribbon and hang sweetness on the Christmas tree - both a decoration and a dessert!

For cookies you will need:

flour - 330 g; 2 tsp soda without a slide + a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice; egg; butter - 150 g; 80 g each of white and brown sugar; molasses or honey - 6 tbsp. l.; ready-made gingerbread spice mix or: 2 tsp. ground ginger, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. allspice, 1/4 tsp. ground cloves; a pinch of salt; glaze (protein + powdered sugar).

Let's prepare the dough. In a large bowl, mix the butter with two types of sugar. Add honey and stir again. In another bowl, mix flour, spices and baking soda quenched with lemon juice. Combine the dry ingredients with the oil mass, divide into two parts, wrap each with cling film and send for an hour or two in the refrigerator.

Turn on the oven to heat up to 180 degrees, cover the baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a thin layer, cut out cookies using cookie cutters. Bake 10 minutes.

Decorate the cooled gingerbread cookies with icing made from egg white whipped with powdered sugar. Usually, twice as much powder goes to the weight of the protein, approximately 60 g is spent on protein. You can, of course, buy ready-made icing. Enjoy!

5. Candies made from nuts and chocolate
