Unusual "Potato"

Description

Initially these brownies were born as a complement to pumpkin pie, ie it was made from scraps of cakes type cakes "Potato." But later I slightly modified the recipe by adding cream cheese and banana mixture, and proved to be quite independent recipe is very tasty and unusual treats. The recipe is ideal for those who need to hide the presence of a vegetable, because the pumpkin taste is not recognizable, it also can be replaced with zucchini or squash (tested). Prepare them for kids, not fans of vegetables, was eating for both cheeks, not even knowing what they're made of ;)

Cooking

First prepare the cake. (It is better to make in advance, for example, in the evening, then to give it a little dry. ) Pumpkin remove seeds, remove peel and grate on a coarse grater, then punched a blender, puree and recline on a sieve to drain excess liquid.

Next, well beat with a mixer eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar. Add 1 tbsp oil and pumpkin puree and mix everything together.

In a separate bowl, mix the sifted flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and if desired, add cinnamon and ginger (I put 1 tsp of cinnamon and ginger 0.5). Mix well and add to liquid mixture. Stir until smooth. The consistency of very thick cream.

Preheat the oven to 170*C. if it is not silicone, grease with butter and sprinkle with flour. Pour into it the dough and place in a well-heated oven for 40-50 minutes. If you take the most broad form, the cooking time will be reduced.

The finished cake to get, leave to cool. Then, once completely cooled, break into large pieces and leave for a few hours to dry. If no, you can just cook longer, or a little dry slices in the oven.

The dried slices in a blender to grind into crumbs, not too finely.

All, with the cake finished, now make the cream: 1) blend bananas in a blender, add the cheese and again carefully whisk until smooth. 2) softened butter beat with a mixer until whitening, continuing to whisk, gradually pour in the condensed milk, whisking until smooth. 3) Mix both masses pour in the cognac and stir. The cream is ready. To taste you can add some powdered sugar and vanilla.

Now, portions pour the cream into crumbs and mix (once all the cream is not necessary to add because it might be too much and the cakes will be too wet). The mixture should be such that it could mold brownies. To hands less sticking, they can be wet with cold water. Cakes you can make any size and shape. I sculpted them as "potato" of the middle size, got 11 stuff and a little kolobochek.

Shaped cakes, you can roll them in the mixture of cocoa and powdered sugar. To give a little to stand and soak, and then put into the refrigerator for a few hours.

If you wish, you can still decorate with icing, candy sprinkles, nuts or to do "shoots" from the remnants of the cream in General, on that fancy enough :)
