Curd dessert
Such a cake with grapes, a photo of which can be viewed below, will be so tender and airy that it will amaze even the most fastidious sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
- sugar - half a glass;
- lemon juice - 3 tablespoons;
- cottage cheese - about a pound (the fat content of the product does not play a role);
- yogurt or natural yogurt - one glass;
- gelatin - one tablespoon;
- grapes - gram 300-350;
- shortbread cookies - grams 150-170;
- butter - 80 grams.
Cooking process.
- First of all, the basis for the future dessert is being made. The oil needs to be thoroughly softened, but not melted. Grind shortbread cookies into crumbs, for this you can use a blender or coffee grinder. Mix the butter and crumbs well, you get a mass that resembles a dough, it should be elastic. It is good to grease the mold with butter and put the resulting "dough" into it. It will be necessary to lay not only on the bottom, but also on the walls. This is the basis.
- The time has come for the filling. You need to take a little cool water and pour gelatin into it. For some time, it must be left so that it is well swollen. At this time, you can just grind the cottage cheese with yogurt and sugar. Since we have a cake with grapes, we take prepared berries and separate them from the seeds. If the grapes are too large, then it is worth cutting them. It is desirable to set aside a few things for decoration.
- The gelatin is most likely already swollen, so you can put it on a slow fire and wait until it becomes liquid. Now you need to mix the gelatin and curd masses well, adding grapes and lemon juice to them. All this must be beaten up well to make the filling airy.
- Now the filling needs to be laid out on a sand base prepared previously. Then the almost finished dessert goes to the refrigerator for several hours, and preferably at night. In winter, you can completely use the balcony for hardening. After it would be nice to decorate the cake with grapes and kiwi.
- If the dessert is well frozen, then it can be served to the table.
