Method
Rub cottage1 cheese through a sieve or mash it until completely smooth.
Mix the cottage1 cheese with softened butter2, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar.
Shape into firm bars and freeze for 30 minutes.
Melt the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds.
Dip the chilled bars in the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper.
Chill for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
Tips
- Why it works
- Press the cottage cheese through a sieve to remove lumps and make the mixture smooth for a firm bar. If lumps remain, the bars will crumble as they chill.
- Substitutions
- Replace the powdered sugar with 11 g of sugar ground to a powder in a mortar. You can use milk chocolate instead of dark, but the coating will be thinner and less crisp.
- Common mistakes
- If the bars haven't set after 30 minutes in the freezer, they will spread in the chocolate. Check by touch: they should be firm but not icy.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 5 days in an airtight container. Warm for 10 seconds in the microwave, so the chocolate doesn't run.
- Serve with
- Serve with tea or coffee as a dessert after lunch when you want something sweet without effort.
