    Strawberry Creme Crinkle Cake

    Mementa Strawberry Crème

    My sweet friend and owner of The Jelly Queens, Donna Collins recently gifted me a new product line to do some recipe testing. It’s one of her new favorites from Mementa, an organic coconut company that makes sweetened condensed coconut milks.

    Perfect for a vegetarian, gluten, milk-free diet with the same smooth consistency and appearance of traditional condensed milk. A unique delicious taste with a subtle hint of coconut. Available in Vanilla, Coffee, and Strawberry flavors.

    Tik Toks Tending Crinkle Cake

    My inspiration for this gorgeous cake comes from Tik Toks super trendy, Greek Crinkle Cake made with vanilla custard, and pistachios, and drizzled with honey. It’s a very similar dessert to baklava.

    My take on the dessert is a showstopper! The crusty edges look like artwork with crinkled brown edges and a luscious soft meringue topping. The custard-soaked phyllo base becomes soft and creamy during baking, creating the perfectly sweet-creamy crunchy dessert.

    Review

    At first taste, the strawberry crème has a velvety texture, a lovely strawberry ‘natural’ not fake flavor, a hint of coconut that lingers at the end, and a slightly bitter aftertaste. The aftertaste wasn’t unpleasant however, it’s not the best product to eat from a spoon or use as a finishing creme.

    Best Uses

    The best uses for these products are to incorporate into baked goods, cook in sauces or add to smoothies, shakes, etc.

    The strawberry crème is the perfect addition to my strawberry crème custard, it’s so well balanced and not too sweet.

    • Take 2 layers of phyllo dough together at a time and lightly brush with the top with melted butter. Holding the sheets together at the top and let them hang from your fingers. Using your fingers to “crinkle” the sheets, gently fold back and forth in an accordion-style drawing from the bottom up to the top then … roll each into a “cinnamon roll style” circle. Make 4-5 of these rolls and place in the bottom of the pan.
    • Using the same crinkle method, make the sides of the crinkle cake. This time, keep the long and tuck the phyllo along the sides of the pan so that the dough protrudes over the edge of the pan. Be sure the bottom sections are snug in the pan. Continue till the pan is filled. (see photos)

    A Love Affair with Phyllo Dough

    I use an inordinate amount of the frozen pastry to create all sorts of desserts, appetizers, and entrees. It’s so versatile, a super forgiving medium for baking. I truly have a love affair with phyllo dough.
