Preparation

First, prepare the custard, tk. we will need it already cooled down. Whisk the yolks with sugar, heat the milk. When the milk is warm, take 1/3 of it and slowly add it to the yolks, stirring well. We bring the milk to a boil and a thin trickle, constantly stirring, pour yolks. After boiling, cook for no more than 20 seconds and set aside for cooling.

Proteins for cakes should be necessarily cold. We'll put a pinch of salt in them and whip them at small turns with a mixer, gradually adding power. After getting a lush foam, you can start to add a little sugar. Sugar can not be poured out and added at the very beginning, tk. he will all sit at the bottom and it will be very difficult to pick it up. If you do not have a mixer or a blender, this will make cooking very difficult. and in the cakes and in the cream it is important to thoroughly whisk. Whip the proteins with sugar until firm peaks.

Almonds roast in the oven at 160 degrees until they podzolotyatsya and do not go nutty smell, then they need to be turned into a very small crumb. This can be done in a coffee grinder or blender. Here, this nut crumb we carefully fall asleep in squirrels and carefully intervene movements from the bottom up, as if wrapping.

On the baking paper, which then we will cover the baking sheet, draw circles the size of the diameter of the proposed cake. To do this, you can use a plate or bottom from the shape to make all the cakes the same. And with the help of a confectioner's bag lay out the proteins with a thin layer on the parchment, starting from the center of the circle. We bake cakes for 45 minutes at a temperature of 150 degrees. It should be 5-6 cakes.

Mix the butter, condensed milk, vanillin and liquor, mix well. Little by little, add to this mass our already cooled, custard, each time kneading to homogeneity, before adding the next portion.

Now we collect the cake. To do this, put a little cream on the dish so that the cake does not travel all over the plate. Each cake is lubricated with cream and only the upper one is soaked with jam. The sides of the cake are also coated with cream.

On a water bath, melt the white chocolate, when it completely melts, add four tablespoons cream, mix. The resulting glaze pours the cake from above and distributes it evenly over the entire surface.

Now we make the same icing from dark chocolate and two tablespoons of cream. With the help of a confectionery bag or a regular bag, we apply a thin stream of circles from the center to the edges in a spiral. Next, with a toothpick or skewer, we draw eight strips from the center to the edges, and then between them - from the edge to the center. Thus, the corporate image of the cake "Esterhazy" will be obtained. Along the sides sprinkle with almond flakes and put in the refrigerator. Dessert should brew for several hours, unless of course you have enough patience.
