Homemade Bajadera with Walnuts

Who doesnt know the legendary Bajadera, which ranks among the best desserts? As an interesting fact: the factory where it is produced doesnt know exactly when it was created, so they consider the year 1954 as the year of origin, when it appeared on store shelves as a standalone product. The recipe for the homemade version we offer below is a very good approximation of the original, and the best part is that you dont need an oven to prepare it.

Steps

  1. Light layer: Place water, sugar, and butter in a pot and heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove the pot from the heat, add ground walnuts and butter cookies to the mixture, and mix everything well. Transfer the light layer into a medium-sized baking dish and smooth the surface evenly.

  2. Dark layer: Place water, sugar, butter, and chocolate in a pot and heat until the sugar and chocolate dissolve. Remove the pot from the heat, add walnuts and butter cookies to the mixture, and mix everything well. Pour the dark layer over the light layer and spread it evenly across the entire surface, smoothing the top. Place the baking dish in the refrigerator to allow both layers to set and cool.

  3. Chocolate glaze: Break or chop the chocolate into pieces and place it in a pot. Add oil and heat over low heat until the chocolate melts. Remove from the heat and gently stir to create a smooth glaze. Pour the glaze over the cooled Bajadera. Wait for the glaze to set, then cut the Bajadera into pieces, serve on a plate or platter, and enjoy.
