This is not an exotic dessert and not marshmallow.
It is a delicate soufflé with a creamy taste that both adults and children love.
Bird’s Milk is a dessert that has been widely loved in Russia for over 80 years, most commonly enjoyed as candies and square cakes. The recipe was originally invented in Poland.
Two years ago, I took the original recipe and modernized it, adapting it for molds to create a new format of this familiar dessert and use it as an alternative to chocolate figurines.
CREAMY, NOT OVERLY SWEET TASTE
◉ Made with agar-agar, not gelatin
The recipe is adapted by me for working with molds and includes two preparation options: classic Bird’s Milk made with butter or with cream. I recommend trying both versions and choosing the one you like most in taste.
FLAVORS YOU WILL LEARN TO MAKE IN THE COURSE FOR BIRD’S MILK FIGURINES AND DESSERTS

– Classic Bird’s Milk
– Chocolate
– Pistachio and any nut flavor

Ganaches, layers, and fillings for the center of figurines or for mini cakes / bento cakes:
– Ferrero
– Raffaello
– Creme brulee
– Any berry or fruit fillings

All of these can also be used in your other desserts.
For mini cakes / bento cakes:

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:
Stand (planetary) mixer — for whipping the ingredients.
Even a low-power mixer (around 1000 W) will work.- Precision kitchen scales — to weigh ingredients accurately to the gram.
- A regular stovetop and a heavy-bottom saucepan — for cooking the syrup.
- A heating device — to keep the mixture at a workable temperature and allow you to work with molds for a longer time. An oven, multicooker, or thermal heating cap will work. A microwave is NOT suitable.
- Molds — 5–7 molds are enough to make your first figurines.
