Step 1
Start by measuring out 360 grams of cottage cheese. Make sure the cottage cheese is fresh and well-drained for the best texture. Next, measure 160 milliliters of cream which should have a rich fat content of at least 33%.
Also, gather 120 grams of soft butter, 150 grams of boiled condensed milk, and one egg yolk. Don't forget a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and soft butter. Use a spatula or a whisk to blend them well until they form a smooth mixture without lumps.
Next, add the egg yolk and the boiled condensed milk to the mixture. Continue mixing until everything is fully incorporated, resulting in a creamy and delicious base for your Easter dessert.
Step 3
Once you have a smooth mixture, gently fold in the cream until it is evenly distributed. This will add richness and enhance the flavor of your Easter treat. Lastly, sprinkle a pinch of salt into the batter to balance out the sweetness.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture into a suitable mold, ensuring to press it down gently for even distribution. Cover the mold with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
Let it chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for a firmer texture and to allow the flavors to meld. This resting period is crucial for achieving the best results!
Step 5
Once chilled, carefully unmold your cottage cheese Easter dessert onto a decorative plate. You can garnish it with fresh fruits or edible flowers for a festive presentation.
Slice and serve cold. Enjoy the deliciously rich taste with your family and friends on this special occasion!

Faq
- How do I know if the cheese is fresh?
Look for a smooth texture with a mild aroma. If it smells sour or has a grainy texture, it's best to throw it out.
- Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! Cream cheese, ricotta, or even mascarpone can be great substitutes, each bringing a unique flavor.
- What if my dessert is too runny?
If your mixture is too runny, consider adding a bit more cheese or chilling it for a while to firm it up.
- How can I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just give it a gentle stir before serving!
- Can I double the recipe without issues?
Yes, feel free to double the recipe! Just make sure your mixing bowl is large enough to handle the extra ingredients.
- What's the best way to serve this dessert?
Chilled is usually the best way! You can serve it alongside a selection of toppings for guests to customize as they wish.
