Instructions
Step 1
Begin by melting the white chocolate until it reaches a temperature of 43-45°C (110-113°F). This is essential for the smooth texture of your cheese bars.
Next, pass the cottage cheese through a fine sieve to ensure it is creamy and free of lumps.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, strained cottage cheese, powdered sugar, and sweetened condensed milk.
Blend all the ingredients together with a mixer until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Once mixed, fold in the melted white chocolate and blend again until uniform.
Step 2
Distribute the cheese mixture evenly into silicone molds. If you desire, you can add fillings such as caramel, jam, or boiled condensed milk inside each mold.
Place the molds in the freezer for 8-12 hours, or until the cheese bars are completely firm. This is crucial for easy handling later on.
Step 3
While the cheese bars are freezing, melt the milk or dark chocolate until it reaches 45-50°C (113-122°F).
Mix in the refined vegetable oil thoroughly until smooth. This will help achieve a shiny finish on your bars.
Step 4
Once the cheese bars are frozen solid, quickly remove them from the molds.
Dip each cheese bar into the melted chocolate glaze, making sure to coat them entirely for a delicious finish.
After glazing, set them aside to allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature.
You can store the bars in the freezer for up to one month. Be sure to label the storage containers with the preparation date and keep them in a separate section of your freezer to avoid any unwanted flavors.
Step 5
Once the chocolate has set, your homemade cheese bars are ready to enjoy!
These make for a delightful snack or dessert, perfect for sharing with friends and family. Enjoy your delicious homemade creation!
Servings

For a **vegan** version, use **vegan cream cheese** and **plant-based butter**. This swap will keep the delicious taste while catering to a vegan diet. With these variations, everyone can enjoy these scrumptious treats! 🌟
Faq
- What type of curd is best for these cheese bars?
Use fatty curd (around 9% fat) for the best creamy texture. The more fat, the creamier the result!
- Can I use a hand mixer instead of a blender?
Yes, a hand mixer will work as well, but ensure you use a bowl that allows for thorough mixing to achieve a smooth consistency.
- How can I make sure my chocolate doesn’t burn when melting?
Use a double boiler and avoid boiling water; simply simmer for the best results. Stir frequently!
- Can I add other flavors to the mixture?
Absolutely! Consider adding vanilla extract or citrus zest for a tasty twist on your cheese bars.
- What is the best storage method for frozen cheese bars?
Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a food-safe bag. Don’t forget to label with the date!
- How long do these cheese bars stay fresh in the refrigerator?
They can last up to a week in the refrigerator if stored properly in an airtight container.
