Walnut-stuffed prunes - recipe

Rinse prunes with running water. Fold in a bowl and fill with hot water to infuse for 10-15 minutes. It is much easier to get a bone from a hot and swollen prune. After that, carefully remove the bone, if any. If you want to cook prunes for adults, then instead of water, boil it in red wine for 7-10 minutes. Of course, you can’t give such a dessert to children, but for an adult company it will be a pleasant surprise. Put on a plate shot with napkins and cool.

Prick the nuts. Dry the nuts in the oven until golden brown, turning them over with a spatula on all sides. Insert half the walnut kernel into the prune hole. Connect the edges of the plum with your fingers. So stuff all the plums.

Now you can do sour cream filling. Sour cream sauce can be prepared in many ways. For example, you can mix in equal proportions raw condensed milk and sour cream and pour them dessert. We will make a traditional sour cream, which is suitable for. Use sour cream for dessert, fat content from 20%. So, put the sour cream in a bowl. Pour sugar into it.

Beat with a mixer. Add a thickener for sour cream and vanilla.

With the help of these ingredients, sour cream sauce will acquire an airier and denser structure and a subtle vanilla flavor. Beat sour cream with a mixer for 2-3 minutes. The finished cream turned out to be thick, exactly the way I wanted.

Put the stuffed prunes in a bowl or bowl in two, three rows. If you want, you can lay it on a large flat dish. Top with sour cream.
