Ice Cubes

For the brownie

2 cups water
250 g + 6 Tbsp sugar
juice of one lemon
6 eggs
2 Tbsp cocoa
3 Tbsp oil
6 Tbsp flour
10 g baking powder

Beat egg whites with 6 Tbsp of sugar. Add egg yolks, cocoa, oil, flour and baking powder. Bake in a greased pan in preheated oven (I baked mine on 190°C for about 25 minutes). Make a syrup out of water, 250 g sugar and lemon juice, and while it's still hot, pour it over cooled brownie.

For the filling

9 Tbsp flour
11 Tbsp sugar
a few Tbsp milk
250 g margarine

Dissolve flour and sugar in some milk. Boil 1/2 l milk, remove from heat and gradually pour into it flour and sugar mixture, stirring continuously. Continue to cook on low heat until it thickens. Beat margarine with a mixer. When milk mixture is completely cold, stir it carefully in margarine. It should be foamy. Spread over cooled brownie.

Top with favorite chocolate glaze. I make mine with 100 g dark chocolate, a piece of butter and some milk.

Dessert should be kept in fridge, and served cold. After preparation, leave in a fridge overnight.

This was a common dessert in former Yugoslavia, for another version of this recipe, visit Medena's beautiful Café Chocolada blog.
