Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Base: Blend the barley flakes into a fine flour, then blend the cookies into fine crumbs.
2. Combine Ingredients: Mix the barley and cookie crumbs together and add melted butter until well incorporated.
3. Form the Base: Press the mixture into a pan, creating a base with side edges. Line the pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap for easy removal, or use a cake pan with removable sides.
4. Let Set: Keep the base at room temperature while you prepare the cream layer.
5. Cook Rice Flakes: In a pot, bring 1 cup of milk to a boil and add rice flakes. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally until fully absorbed. Allow it to cool.
6. Blend Mixture: Once cooled, blend the rice porridge until smooth.
7. Whip Sour Cream: Beat the sour cream until it becomes thick and creamy, about 5-8 minutes. Add vanilla sugar and condensed milk or sweetened fresh cheese, and whip for another 5 minutes.
8. Prepare Gelatin: Stir gelatin into 1 cup of milk and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Gently heat and stir until dissolved.
9. Combine Gelatin: Mix the gelatin milk into the rice mixture, then fold it into the whipped cream mixture, blending thoroughly.
10. Layer Cream: Pour the cream mixture over the cookie base, reserving 2 tbsp for decoration.
11. Decorate: Mix cocoa powder into the reserved cream. Drizzle lines over the top of the dessert in various directions.
12. Add Designs: Use a stick to create patterns on the dessert surface with the cocoa cream.
13. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
14. Enhance Flavor: For a richer taste, let the dessert sit longer in the fridge.
