Recipe

Prep Time: 5
Cook Time: 20
Yields: ~10

Tools and Devices

  • Silicone Forms. Shape is up to you.
  • Powerful blender. Vitamix or something like that.
  • Stove.
  • Refrigerator.

Ingredients

  • Cottage cheese - 70% of the overall mass. It is better to use fat rich cottage cheese - 23% fat is ideal. Squeeze water out of it using a cheese cloth.
  • Butter - 20% of the overall mass
  • Sugar - 10% of the overall mass.
  • Natural vanilla.
  • No artificial colors and flavors allowed
  • Raw Chocolate - about a 16 oz. May be more. Depends on your skills in making thin coatings.
  • Optional: Fresh raspberries, coconut shavings, blueberries.
Example
To make 1 lbs/454 gr of the mix use the following:
  • 320 gr of Cottage Cheese
  • 90 gr of Butter (20%)
  • 45 gr of Sugar (10%)

Method

  • Melt chocolate in a water bath.
  • Soften the butter. Don't melt it but leave it in a warm place so it becomes soft to touch.
  • Use silicon brush to coat silicone molds  with a layer of melted chocolate.
  • Put the molds into the freezer for 10 minutes to solidify.
  • Check for gaps in the chocolate coating and patch with remaining chocolate. Again freeze for 5-10 minutes.
  • While the chocolate hardens use a powerful food processor to mix the ingredients.
  • The mixture should be completely homogenous. No little particles of cottage cheese should be visible or felt. It is important!
  • Take the molds out of the freezer, fill 1/3 with cottage cheese mix, put the filling if you chose to do so and then fill to the top.
  • Cover each mold with a layer of melted chocolate. You can throw a little coconut on top of chocolate to make it look a bit more sexy.
  • Put in the freezer for 2-3 minutes to solidify the top.
  • Keep in the fridge for 20 - 30 minutes to ensure that the cottage cheese mix solidifies as well.
