Speaker A
Hello everyone. Today, I suggest making a delicious chocolate processed cheese, just like from our childhood. The exact list of all ingredients I always leave in the description below the video and at the end of every video. You will
Speaker A
need 500 g of cottage cheese (tvorog). I usually take the nine percent fat version. Usually, low-fat varieties melt poorly, so I also recommend you choose a higher fat content. I add two medium eggs, one teaspoon of baking soda with
Speaker A
a mound, 100 g of sugar, and 50 g of cocoa powder. I thoroughly process everything with a blender until it's more or less smooth. And by the way, make sure to add a good pinch of salt.
Speaker A
It will taste even better. I continue to blend until the mixture is uniform. If some small grains of cottage cheese remain, it’s not a problem. The mixture turns out quite thick. Now I add 100 g of butter. I always use 82.5%
Speaker A
fat butter. I turn on the heat to just below medium. And now we stir constantly. I wait for the cottage cheese to start melting and the whole mass to become more liquid. It’s best not to step away, keep stirring
Speaker A
constantly, then nothing will definitely burn. And, of course, it is advisable to use a heavy-bottomed pot.
Speaker A
Naturally, only real natural cottage cheese melts, so choose a good and proven one. Cottage cheese products with milk fat substitutes certainly won't work here, and you won't get tasty cheese. So we only take natural ones. A few minutes have passed for me,
Speaker A
and as you can see, the whole mass is becoming noticeably more liquid. The cottage cheese is melting. The butter is melting and the mixture is already starting to stretch a little. I continue to stir and heat it. The whole
Speaker A
process takes me about 7-8 minutes. Over heat just below medium. Now the mixture stretches well and is starting to come to a boil. I remove it from the heat. If you don't mind the effort, you can blend the whole mass again to
Speaker A
ensure there are no lumps of cheese left. I usually don't do this. I pour it into a glass container. If you don't want a crust to form on top, it's best to cover the mixture directly with plastic wrap. The crust doesn't bother
Speaker A
me, so I close it with a lid right away, leave it on the table to cool down until warm, and then put it in the refrigerator. After cooling, the cheese sets perfectly, holds its shape well, and becomes firm. A chocolate crust
Speaker A
forms on top that later resembles pieces of chocolate, while the inside is firm and delicate chocolate cheese.
Speaker A
I usually make this cheese in the evening, and by morning, you can enjoy a wonderful breakfast. There is a lot of protein here, after all, there's a lot of cottage cheese and eggs, plus healthy fats from the butter, so this
Speaker A
is a great breakfast for the whole family. I think many remember such cheese from their childhood. I don't even know why it has disappeared now.
Speaker A
But you can prepare a much better version at home. As you saw, the whole process takes literally 10 minutes with all the prep, and then you just wait for the cheese to set. By the way, for those with a sweet tooth, I recommend
Speaker A
adding more sugar, because the cheese turns out moderately sweet. If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should make it. I am sure that both children and adults will appreciate this recipe. The texture of the cheese turns out very delicate and chocolatey.
Speaker A
And honestly, I can't taste the cottage cheese in it at all. This really is chocolate cheese. So I'm sure that even those who don't like cottage cheese will eat this with great pleasure. We weren't allowed to spread this much on
Speaker A
in childhood, by the way. Right. Oh, some kind of treat. Oh, thank you. Mmm, delicious. Like childhood. This is really cheese, like from our childhood, and it's slightly sweet. Not sweet enough, I would say. If you like it
Speaker A
sweeter, then it's better to add more sugar. Very delicious. And it kind of reminds me of chocolate butter, right? But it still has the taste of cheese, because only tastier.
Speaker A
These are the kinds of chocolate cheese bars they used to have. Man, this is so delicious, guys. And it only takes 5 minutes of work. But then you get maximum pleasure, and kids and adults will love it. In short, you must make
Speaker A
it. Very delicious. I hope you like this recipe too, and that you will definitely try it out. I wish everyone a great mood and look forward to seeing you in the next episodes.
