Sand baskets with fruit cakes

Wonderful baskets with orange cream and fruit. Baskets are my favorite cakes since childhood, so I make them periodically and each time with different fillings. This time, instead of jam or jam, I used orange cream, and took the dough for baskets as a basis, which does not require baking. According to this recipe, we made the basis for mini-tarts with caramel in the culinary studio Culinarion - at that time I really liked the combination of cookies with crushed bitter chocolate.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 3 hours

Step 1:
Baskets.
Step 2:
Chop the chocolate and cookies in a blender.
Step 3:
Add soft butter and mix.
Step 4:
A homogeneous wet crumb should be obtained.
Step 5:
Spread the crumbs on the bottom and sides of the basket molds.
Step 6:
Put the baskets in the refrigerator.
Step 7:
Cream.
Step 8:
In a saucepan, mix the yolks, sugar, orange zest and juice.
Step 9:
Over low heat, with constant stirring, bring the mixture to a thickening and remove from heat.
Step 10:
Let the cream cool slightly and add the diced butter. Stir until smooth.
Step 11:
Cover the cream with cling film "in contact" and cool completely.
Step 12:
Filling.
Step 13:
Wash the fruit and cut into small pieces.
Step 14:
Carefully remove the cooled baskets from the molds and fill with the cooled cream.
Step 15:
Put the pieces of fruit on top, slightly pressing them into the cream.

If you want to make the taste of chocolate more expressive, chop it with a knife into a larger crumb.

I decided to conduct an experiment and baked a couple of baskets in the oven (the furthest and darkest in the photo). They crumble very much and it is almost impossible to get them out of the molds whole. I had to cool them down a lot first and then take them out. If you add 1 egg to the sand crumb, it will become the binding element that will make the dough more elastic and less brittle.
