That is a Molotof, Portuguese egg whites pudding! It is incredibly delicious. A soft, spongy and very delicate texture. Like a cotton cloud. According to sources, it appears that the real name of the Molotof pudding is Malakoff pudding. Apparently, it’s related to the Crimean War of 1853-1856. The Battle of Malakoff, 1855. Malakoff was a fortress that protected the city of Sebastopol after being taken over by the French general Aimable Jean Jacques Pélissier, who won the title of Duke of Malakoff. During the war, in Portugal, pastries were made according to the income of the time to give out this leftover ingredient from other preparations. And it is said that this pudding took that name.

I think the best thing about these types of recipes is beginner cooks can focus on two cooking basics (egg whites & meringues and caramelizing sugar) that they can carry forward in their arsenal of kitchen knowledge. This way they can taste and feel outright what each element is like without being lost among a roster of other ingredients and techniques.

actually it contains 3 ingredients, egg, sugar and water. i think it would of been better to add less water so the caramel is less running/watered down. even better is to use the watered down version to keep it from sticking but then thicken the majority of it and dump it on top when you turn it over onto a plate, this will stop you from spilling hot sticky sugar on yourself and also make the caramel carry the dish as it should.

Well, technically, it's really three ingredients from a pedantic point of view, cos it's eggwhite, sugar and water, though you could probably omit the water and carefully drizzle the caramelised sugar into the tin before it cools too much, and whatever water is in the egg would (hopefully) moisten it to give it a saucy result... :D

Portugal here, we call it Molotov. 🤷 My dad LOVES, LOVES it! Here they make it either with the caramel or a yolk+sugar cream, cooked in bain-marie (wich I prefer, makes it sweeter and more decadent!)

My favorite 2 ingredient cake is a regular size can of pumpkin puree mixed into a boxed cake mix (just about any flavor works, even chocolate). You just mix the cake mix and pumpkin together and end up with a stiff cake batter, bake at 350 f for about 40 minutes (depending on your oven) in a 13 x 9 inch pan until it's done. If you toothpick test it there may be a very slight moisture on the pick, but no wet cake. I love it warm or cold.

If you were worried about burning the sugar trying to cook it, you could use cane sugar syrup, like Lyle's Golden Syrup (McVitie's in the UK). At a tea house in Stratford, Ontario, they serve a dessert they call Pavlova (although proper pavlova has custard and fruit on hard meringue) which is a large slice of sweet, soft meringue topped with a crust of sugared almonds. It is absolutely divine! I think sugared almods would be great with this, too.

AAAH! This is a Molotov! One of my fave deserts!!

In Canada (maybe in maple syrup producing regions of the US too?), we make a pie with a maple syrup filling and meringue topping. You could simplify this recipe even further by using maple syrup instead of making the caramel. However, when you talked about serving it with extras to make it more decadent, my mind immediately went to roasted peaches and toasted almonds for some crunch. You could then drizzle the whole thing with a creamy, rich custard made with the leftover yolks. That would be more than two ingredients though!

When reading a cookbook is water listed as needed ingredients? (unless needed at a certain temperature)

I think you're correct that it is actually only 2 ingredients as water is a thinning agent for the Caramel sauce and doesn't contribute significantly to the flavor or body of the dessert. Having said all that I would like to add either some vanilla or cherry or almond flavorings and then it would become a 3 ingredient dessert. Excellent, fun video!

Wow. That looks so tasty! Thanks for sharing. It's always a bit scary trying something new on camera. LOL

We have something like that here in the Philippines though we make it in a roll! It's called brazo de mercedes, we don't use the syrup thing, the cake is mostly egg whites and the filling is a yolk-custard! Def worth checking out!

Toss yolk between shell halves, works amazing and no hand mess

Very interesting! I would like my caramel thicker tho.. love that homemade stuff😈🍮thanks Emmy. Hope your weekend is good!

Thats really awesome! Especially if u dont like really sweet treats .

Good recipe! the only thing i would change is adding that amount of water at the end, caramel turns out runny. Just a few drops of lemon juice to avoid crystallization and that's it ;)

Maybe you could add some kind of crust on the bottom, and when you flip it upside down just try to flip it into a plate with a crust on it 🥰

I think I would pour cold water into the outer pan and set the mold into it for about 5 minutes to allow the caramel to cool and thicken before flipping it onto the plate. If it's the consistency of cold pancake syrup I think it would be less prone to dumping out onto the table and it would make a more dense coating overall. I might even refrigerate it before turning it over, flip it onto the plate cold and then let it warm to room temperature.

I think sprinkling each slice with toasted almond slices would be nice.

Will be making this.

this is similar to the île flottante (floating island) in france. the eggs whites are poached then put on a liquid custard and drenched in caramel.

I use to make a recipe called floating island. It was the meringues floating in crème Anglais

I think I would make cajeta sauce with goat milk as for the chocoflan cake. Maybe a drop of vanilla in the whites. Looks beautiful!
