Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Base

Start by melting the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and melted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy, using a hand blender if necessary.

In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the water. Add it to the cottage cheese mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 2

Prepare Chocolate Layers

Next, make the chocolate layers. For the white chocolate layer, heat the heavy cream until just hot, then pour it over the white chocolate in a bowl. Stir until smooth and let it cool.

Repeat this process for the milk chocolate and dark chocolate layers, using their respective chocolates and heavy cream.

Step 3

Assemble the Dessert Cups

Start layering the dessert in cups or containers. Begin with the white chocolate mixture, then add a layer of the milk chocolate mixture. Follow up with the dark chocolate mixture.

Repeat this process until the cups are filled, giving each layer time to set slightly in the refrigerator as needed.

Step 4

Prepare the Glaze

To create the glaze, melt the milk chocolate and mix it with the vegetable oil until fully combined. Allow it to cool slightly.

Finally, drizzle the chocolate mixture on top of the assembled dessert cups and sprinkle with chopped nuts for garnish.

Step 5

Chill and Serve

Place the dessert cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set properly. Once chilled, they are ready to serve.

Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations:

If you're looking to accommodate a gluten-free and vegan crowd, we've got you covered! 🌱 For a gluten-free option, ensure no trace of gluten in your chocolate and use gluten-free sweeteners if adjusting the sugar. You can substitute the dairy ingredients with vegan alternatives like coconut cream or almond cream.

For a fully vegan version, swap out the white, milk, and dark chocolate for plant-based chocolate chips. This simple change can open up a world of flavor while keeping the treat deliciously indulgent. Just be sure to check labels for any dairy ingredients. Enjoy this tasty treat, worry-free!

    These treats can last in the fridge for about 4-5 days, so feel free to make them ahead of time!

  • Is it possible to freeze these bento boxes?

    Yes! You can freeze them for longer storage. Just ensure they are tightly wrapped and thaw them in the fridge before serving.

  • What is the secret to achieving the perfect chocolate glaze?

    The key is gently melting the chocolate with a little oil. This makes it smooth and easy to work with while ensuring it adheres well to your bento.
