Glaze Ingredients


Instructions
Step 1
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
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
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
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
Place the dessert cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set properly. Once chilled, they are ready to serve.
Enjoy this delightful three chocolate Easter treat with friends and family!
Servings
Imagine placing one of these delightful bento boxes on a table surrounded by colorful spring flowers. A drizzle of melted chocolate, a sprinkle of crushed nuts, and perhaps even some edible flowers can elevate the experience. 🌼
Don't forget to serve them chilled! This enhances the creamy texture, making each bite a refreshing delight. Pair with a cup of expensive coffee or a light herbal tea to balance the sweetness.✨
For gatherings, consider creating a dessert buffet and place these beauties on a tiered stand, making it a focal point that will make everyone eager to dive in! Plus, they make for brilliant party favors—who wouldn’t love to take a bite of this chocolatey goodness home?
Equipment
Make sure they are large enough for mixing the ingredients. Glass and stainless steel are great options for durability.
This is perfect for melting chocolate gently! If you don't have one, just use a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.



A hand whisk works well for mixing, but an electric mixer will save you time if you're preparing a larger batch.



Use 10 x 5 cm pans as specified. Make sure to line them with parchment paper for easier release.
A flexible spatula is essential for scraping down the sides of bowls and ensuring a homogenous mix.



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!
