Necessary ingredients
To make a cottage cheese dessert with vanilla and chocolate, prepare the following ingredients in advance:
- gelatin – about 40 grams;
- milk (3.2%) – 2 glasses;
- fatty cottage cheese – 500 g;
- sour cream (20%) – 400 g;
- sugar – 150 g;
- vanilla sugar – 1 or 2 packets;
- cocoa powder – 2 tablespoons.
How to choose products?
To achieve the desired effect, you need to choose specific ingredients for making this treat. Use high-fat milk. When shopping, choose milk with at least 3.2% fat. Homemade milk is ideal, but it should be boiled before use. For an incredibly delicate and light dessert, use homemade cottage cheese and sour cream with at least 20% fat. Use powdered sugar instead of regular sugar.
Method of preparation
- When making this dessert, the gelatin preparation is usually the most time-consuming part. Pour room-temperature milk into a small saucepan, add the gelatin, stir thoroughly, and let it sit for about an hour and a half. After the specified time, place the saucepan on the stove and heat the milk over low heat, stirring constantly. This should completely dissolve the gelatin. Be careful not to let the milk boil, so watch the process carefully and remove the saucepan from the heat before it begins to boil. Immediately add the sugar and mix thoroughly.
- Cool the milk mixture to room temperature. While it's cooling, prepare the cottage cheese. Strain it thoroughly through a sieve to remove all the grains. The resulting cottage cheese should have a paste-like consistency. Now mix it with the milk-gelatin mixture, but first add the sour cream and blend thoroughly. After adding the cottage cheese, blend the mixture again.
- So, the base for this delicious sweet treat is ready. Divide it into two equal parts and add cocoa to one, mixing it thoroughly with the other ingredients.
- Now prepare the mold in which the dessert will set. The dish should be dry and clean. If you plan to serve the dessert to invited guests, use deep bowls, which can then be used to serve the dessert individually. Pour the mixture (prepared without cocoa) into the mold and place it in the freezer. After just 15-20 minutes, the first layer of the dessert will set, and you can begin working on the next one. Pour the vanilla-chocolate mixture with cocoa over the light layer, then return the container to the refrigerator. Do not return the dessert to the freezer. It should set, not turn to ice.
Once the top layer has set, the dessert is ready to serve. If you used a large, deep bowl, cut the curd into pieces and serve individually. The recipe for this amazing treat is so simple, even a novice cook can handle it.
