Chocolate Glaze
Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 500 grams of cottage cheese, 60 grams of unsalted butter, and 100 grams of powdered sugar. Make sure the butter is softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
Use a hand mixer or a food processor to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. This will create a delightful filling that is both rich and fluffy.
Step 2
Once you have achieved a creamy consistency, transfer the mixture into a suitable dish or mold. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, as this will help to firm up the cheesecake filling.
While waiting, you can prepare the chocolate glaze to save time.
Step 3
For the chocolate glaze, melt 300 grams of chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Be careful not to overheat!
Once melted, stir in 30 grams of vegetable oil which will give the glaze a lovely shine and smooth texture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4
After the cheesecake filling has chilled and set, remove it from the refrigerator. Pour the warm chocolate glaze over the top ensuring it's evenly coated.
Let the glaze cool slightly before serving, allowing it to set into a irresistible layer.
Step 5
Slice and serve your delicious cheesecake with a delightful chocolate topping. Enjoy the wonderful blend of flavors and the creamy texture!

Using a whisk or an electric mixer will help you achieve light and fluffy consistency in your mixture. If you opt for a whisk, remember to use a strong motion to blend well.
Choose a baking tray with a non-stick surface or line it with parchment paper to prevent your pastries from sticking. This makes cleanup a breeze!
To melt the chocolate, a double boiler is ideal. If you don’t have one, a microwave will work too—just melt in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Variations
If you or someone you know has dietary restrictions, you can easily adapt this recipe to be gluten-free and vegan. 🌱✨ For a gluten-free option, ensure that you use gluten-free flour or a pre-blended gluten-free baking mix. To make it vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and the cottage cheese with a vegan cream cheese or blended silken tofu. These alternatives retain the creamy texture while keeping your pastries delicious and cruelty-free! Enjoy your pastries without worries! 🍰💚

Store your pastries in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and they should stay fresh for up to 3 days.
- What's the best way to reheat the pastries if I want them warm?
