The dessert can be made both in summer, using seasonal fruits, and in winter, filling the filling with preparations from the freezer or tropical fruits, which can be bought at any time of the year. A cake made from choux pastry filled with bananas, oranges, kiwis and pineapples is called “Tropicana”.

To make the crust dough and cream you will need:

  • 200 g butter (half for dough and half for cream);
  • 200 ml water;
  • 230 g of flour, 100 g of this amount will go into the cream;
  • 2.5 – 3 g salt;
  • 6 eggs, 2 of them in cream;
  • 400 ml milk;
  • 200 g sugar;
  • any fruits and berries for filling.

Progress:

  1. Pour water into a small saucepan, add salt and put butter cut into pieces. Bring to a boil and add all the flour to the bubbling mixture.
  2. Brew the dough until it comes together in a lump and does not lag behind the walls, remove it from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool to about 50 degrees. Next, stir in the eggs one at a time.
  3. On a sheet of parchment, draw a rectangle with a pencil with sides of 20 and 25 cm, then draw it into smaller rectangles measuring 4 by 5 cm. Turn the parchment over with the pattern down, grease with vegetable oil and draw a mesh, but using a pastry bag with dough.

Place the next openwork cake on top and repeat all steps again. Grease the top of the dessert with cream and decorate with fruit. Place the finished cake in the refrigerator before serving.

Decorating the cake with fruits

Juicy fruits can be not only one of the ingredients of the cake, but also elements of its decor.

Compared to other decoration methods, decorating a cake with fruit has a number of advantages: accessibility, wide range of colors, naturalness and ease of use.

How to decorate the finished dessert with fruits and berries:

  1. Beautiful fruit slices laid out on top. The bright colors of fruits and berries (red, orange, green and blue) can be used to create real pictures on cakes. You can use either whole fruits and berries or sliced ​​ones. In the second case, it is better to cover the sections with a thin layer of decorative gel or cake jelly to maintain a presentable appearance for a long time.
  2. Fruits in jelly. If the fruits beautifully laid out on the surface of the cake may darken, then it would be wise to fill them with a layer of jelly, which will help create the effect of a painting in ice.
  3. Fruits and chocolate. To add a touch of chocolate to your fruit decor, simply dip berries or fruit slices in melted dark or white chocolate. You can also make beautiful, simple elements from chocolate in the form of a cobweb, which you can then simply distribute between the fruits.

Despite the apparent complexity of preparation, such cakes are very easy to prepare. Do not deny yourself the pleasure of making such a dessert to please both yourself and your loved ones with a tasty and at the same time healthy delicacy.

But with a lot of different fruits and jelly filling. Very beautiful and tasty! The recipe was sent by our reader Guzel Maharram:
