For Ruby - Mosaic pie

This one is for my friend Shelley's baby girl Ruby who will be with us in three weeks. Shelley is my friend from Paris / Cordon Bleu. She is a blogger as well, she shares her fantastic recipes from Texas USA. 
Her link is http://www.franishnonspeaker.com/ . 
I love her photos and rustic desserts...






A virtual baby shower party is such a great idea. Thanks to Ilke for inviting me. Here is her link: http://www.ilkeskitchen.com/
When she asked me to join in this group I thought that would be nice to share a traditional Turkish recipe which Shelley would love to know since she loves different tastes as far as I know. She is going to need some freezer friendly, easy and less time consuming recipes. 
All of a sudden Mosaic pie crossed my mind...It is one of the most common homemade desserts in Turkey...
Mine will be a little different, more healthy let me say...
Since it is going to be for a new mom it would better be that way, right?
Sugarless and nutritious...


Dear Ruby, I wish your mom make this recipe for you, and I will be indirectly feeding you in this way...Exciting and funny feeling some how...
Let me tell you that unfortunately the world you will be dealing is not a piece of cake, but hopefully you will have a great parents who will love you forever...
I wish you all the best and congratulations to Shelley and her husband...


Mozaic pie


Time: 15 min. for preparation
Storage: up to one week in freezer


For approx. 10 people


Ingredients:


200 gr. tea biscuits
50 ml. milk
50 gr. nuts
3 table spoons of good quality of cacao 
200 gr. mixed dried fruits
80 gr. butter
Zest of an orange


That is all you need...






You melt the butter first.
In a bowl you crumble the biscuits into big chunks and add the butter just like cheesecake base.
Toast the nuts for 5 minutes in the oven at 200 Celsius. This brings out of its aroma out and makes it more crunchy. I use nuts as a whole, I like it that way...




Then you chop 200 gr. of dried fruits of any kind you want. I used a mix of pineapple, fig and ginger. And suddenly my eyes looked for some red in the recipe just like a ruby, then I've added some dry cherries as well. 




Gently fold all ingredients together. 
Wrap it with a stretch film and roll it. Put it in freezer to chill, and bring it out at least 15 minutes before serving.


You better use a sharp bread knife to cut it in pieces...



 Enjoy it with a glass of cold milk!!!

Bu çok bilinen ev yapımı tatlıyı ingilizce düzenledim çünkü taaa Amerika'ya gidiyor...Teksas'ta yaşayan Cordon Blue'den arkadaşım Shelley'nin bebeği olacak önümüzdeki günlerde. Ve yine blog dünyasından tanışan Türk kızı İlke ile sanal ortamda bir baby shower düzenlemeye karar vermişler, beni de davet ettiler. Tüm bloggerlar bu hafta Ruby bebek için bir tarif yapacaklar. Ne harika bir fikir!
Ve paylaşmak güzel...
Ben de bu sevilen tatlıyı yeni anne ve bebeği için biraz daha sağlıklı kıvama getirerek, şeker koymadan kuru meyvelerle denedim. Gerçekten de başarılı oldu. Umarım sizlerde deneyebilirsiniz. Hatta tatlıseverler arasında anne adayları varsa lohusalık dönemi için ideal. Pek çok ziyaretin olduğu bu ilk günlerde dolabınızda servise hazır bir tatlı bulundurmak isteyebilirsiniz...


Bu partiye katılan diğer linkler yukarda. Sadece fotoğraflar için bile bakmanızı öneririm...Hepsi birbirinden nefis olmuş doğrusu...
Gelelim tarifimize:
İçinde neler var?
200 gr. petibör bisküvi
50 ml. süt
iki avuç bütün fındık
3 çorba kaşığı iyi kalite kakao
200 gr. yaklaşık 1 su bardağı dolusu kuru meyve
80 gr. tereyağı
Bir portakalın kabuğu 


Tereyağını eritelim.Büyük bir kasede bisküvileri irice parçalayıp terayağını yedirelim. Fındıkları 200 derece fırında 5 dakika kendine getirelim. Kakaoyu, sütü, portakal rendesini, bütün fındıkları ve kuru meyveleri karıştıralım. Kuru meyve olarak ben incir, ananas, zencefil ve biraz da kiraz kurusu kullandım. Dayanamadım ve içine biraz da yeşil fıstık parçaları koydum.
Streç filme sarıp derin dondurucuya atalım. En az 4 saat sonra yemeye hazır olacaktır.


Herkese afiyet olsun,
Yeni doğum yapan annelere de bol bol süt olsun...

Esra, I am so thrilled that Ilke has organized this virtual baby shower as it gave me a chance to meet some new bloggers! In Serbia we have a similar dessert which my mom called Cassato (and made with Petit Beurre cookies:)
I am looking forward to getting to know you better!

Kuvertür çikolatada Belcolade tercih ediyorum ben. Eminönü'ndeki tedarikçilerde pek yok. Daha ziyade Kasımpaşa'daki Doğanay gıda'dan alıyorum ben.
