Prepare the White Chocolate Cream:
Begin by preparing the white chocolate cream. Pour the cold whole milk into a saucepan, then add the Nestlé sweetened condensed milk. Sift in the all-purpose flour, mixing gently to avoid lumps. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the milk to a near-boil, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent burning. -
Hydrate the Gelatin:
While the milk mixture is heating, soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for approximately 10 minutes to soften. Stir occasionally to help the gelatin dissolve completely. -
Add White Chocolate:
Once the milk mixture is almost boiling, remove from the heat and add the white chocolate, broken into pieces. Stir continuously with the whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and the cream becomes thick and smooth. -
Cool the Cream:
Transfer the cream to a bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least two hours. -
Prepare the Blinis Batter:
In a separate bowl, separate the egg yolks from the whites. Whisk the egg yolks with the Nesquik powder and cold milk using an electric mixer or hand whisk until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt, continuing to mix until well combined. -
Rest the Batter:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the batter in the refrigerator to rest for at least one hour. -
Whip the Egg Whites:
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chilled batter with a spatula, mixing from the bottom up to retain as much air as possible. The result should be a smooth, light, and airy batter. -
Cook the Blinis:
Heat a non-stick pan (or a crepe pan) over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to prevent the blinis from sticking. Using a spoon, drop about 15-20g of batter into the pan, forming small circles. Cook for about one minute until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip the blinis and cook for another minute on the other side. -
Cool the Blinis:
Once cooked, place the blinis on a flat plate to cool slightly. Continue cooking the remaining blinis in batches. -
Decorate the Blinis:
Transfer the chilled white chocolate cream into a piping bag. Pipe a dollop of cream onto each blini, following the circular edge. Decorate with mixed berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, and currants, placing them at the center of each blini. Add a fresh mint leaf to finish the decoration. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once decorated, serve the Nesquik blinis with white chocolate cream immediately, or store in the refrigerator for later. Enjoy these sweet and fluffy blinis as a delightful treat for any occasion!
Tips:
- You can customize the berries used in this recipe to your taste, or even add other fruits like strawberries or blackberries for a different twist.
- For a richer cream, you can use a combination of cream and white chocolate instead of just milk.
- These blinis can also be served with other toppings like whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel for added sweetness.
These delightful Nesquik blinis with white chocolate cream offer a fun and delicious way to enjoy a classic dessert, combining the creamy sweetness of the chocolate with the fluffiness of the blinis. Perfect for a special treat or a festive gathering!
