Cheesecakes and pies with cottage cheese are a favorite delicacy for children. But even adults, even those who follow a diet and proper nutrition, can easily afford such a tasty treat as “Gourmet”, the recipe for which we offer today. The main thing about this dish is that it is prepared very quickly and without much effort on the part of the hostess.
Festive "Gourmand"
This dish is perfect for a holiday table or just as a treat for kids. Agree, our children do not always eat well, say, the cottage cheese casserole served in kindergarten. And the child’s body is simply obliged to receive the vitamins and minerals contained in cottage cheese. What should I do? Of course, the solution would be “Gourmand” with cottage cheese made from shortcrust pastry, consisting of simple products found in every kitchen.
Ingredients and preparation
To prepare the dough, you will need the following products: two chicken eggs, two hundred grams of cottage cheese, ten tablespoons of sugar, one hundred grams of margarine. “Gourmet”, the recipe for which we offer, also contains flour in the dough - 15 tablespoons, and soda, which will need to be quenched with table vinegar.
To prepare curd cream you should take: one hundred ml. milk, two hundred grams of cottage cheese and the same amount of butter, a small dessert spoon of cocoa powder, ten tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of vanillin (can be replaced with vanilla powdered sugar).
Let's move on to preparing dessert. Curd and shortbread dough is the main thing that our “Gourmand” will consist of. The recipe is simple and quick. First, take margarine and mix it with granulated sugar. Before adding cottage cheese to the total mass, it should be passed through a meat grinder or chopped thoroughly with a fork. After these manipulations, combine with eggs, flour and margarine. It is better to beat the dough with a mixer to avoid the appearance of unpleasant and tasteless lumps later.
The resulting dough will need to be divided into three or four parts. The curd “gourmand”, the recipe for which we are describing, requires thinly rolled dough, so you will have to devote maximum time to this procedure. Place the rolled out pieces of dough on a greased baking sheet and bake for ten minutes at 170 degrees.
While the cakes are baking, you can start preparing the filling. Lush and airy cream is the basis for the “Gourmand” dessert. The recipe will require the use of a kitchen aid such as a mixer. Beat butter, cottage cheese and vanilla sugar. Next, you need to add milk heated on the stove to the mixture.
The last stage will be “gluing” our blanks. Place curd cream on one cake layer and cover with another cake layer. Sprinkle cocoa powder and remaining dough crumbs on top. The resulting cakes can be cut into triangles, squares, or use your imagination and build unusual shapes, cut out animals, etc.
Simplified "Gourmand"
If you have minimal time to prepare or the first recipe seems difficult to prepare, then try the simplified version.
To prepare you will need: a kilogram of cottage cheese, half a kilogram of margarine, 100 grams of raisins, half a kilogram of flour, two hundred grams of granulated sugar and one egg.
Cooking process
Cottage cheese must be mixed with softened margarine using a fork. Later, we add a mixer to the process and begin to beat the mass, gradually adding egg and flour. We do not divide the resulting mass into parts, but roll it out into one continuous sheet. We cut out circles and squares from it. You can use cookie cutters. Place (pressing) several raisins on top of the dough.
The oven for this recipe is preheated to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment, baking paper or oil it. Place the curd “cookies” there for fifteen minutes. “Gourmand” is ready.
