Charming Easter Cottage Cheese Pastry Delight

Begin by melting the white chocolate over a water bath, raising the temperature to 42-44 degrees Celsius (107.6-111.2 degrees Fahrenheit). Make sure to stir continuously to achieve a smooth consistency.

Once melted, allow the chocolate to cool down to 35-34 degrees Celsius (95-93.2 degrees Fahrenheit). At this point, gently mix in the cocoa butter and add any fat-soluble coloring if desired.

Next, fill your preferred mold with the chocolate mixture, tap gently to remove air bubbles, and place it in the refrigerator to set completely.

For the chick, start by outlining the upper shell using the white chocolate (make sure your mold is turned inside out). Once the outline is done, fill in the bottom part, followed by completely filling it with the yellow chocolate mixture.

After this, decorate your chick using fat-soluble colors for a cute appearance.

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, the egg yolk, and sugars. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a slight boil, stirring continuously. This should take around 30-40 seconds to achieve a light thickening, then promptly remove from heat and let cool.

Once cooled, strain the cottage cheese through a fine sieve into a mixing bowl. Add the softened butter and the cooled cream mixture, blending until creamy and smooth.

Half-fill your mold with this cottage cheese mixture, followed by a layer of your favorite berry filling (fresh strawberries mixed with sugar works beautifully!). Cover with another layer of the cottage cheese mixture.

Finally, melt any leftover chocolate and pour it over the top to seal your pastry. After the chocolate hardens, you can start decorating!

Once the decoration is done, simply refrigerate until ready to serve. The end result is a delightful cottage cheese pastry shaped into an adorable tea set with a chick, perfect for Easter celebrations.

Enjoy your lovely creation and the holiday!
