How to make glazed curds at home?

Cottage cheese can be attributed to one of the most useful protein products. Its main and minor components interact well with each other. And also serve as a nutritional source of vitamins for the body. Dishes from it perfectly complement any breakfast or tea.

Unfortunately, most children try to avoid the use of milk and dairy products, so they began to produce cheese curd in chocolate glaze for them. Today, such cheese is prepared with a variety of toppings - from condensed milk to fruit and caramel.

Doctors and nutritionists do not recommend to use this product more than 1 piece per day, due to the increased level of fat and calories in one bar. It is also advised to closely monitor the composition and quality of food, because manufacturers often stuff cheap, expired ingredients into it.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to keep track and find a good nutritional product on the counter, but there is a way out. At home, you can make a glazed sweet, which will be much more useful, and give it any taste. And also you will be able to control the smell, color and level of sucrose, fructose.

The variation of homemade dessert can be changed to people with diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and high blood sugar. Now the delicacy fits absolutely every person, even with very serious problems.

One of the main products of my favorite from childhood glazed cheese is curd mass. It forms the bar and allows you to enjoy the great taste of dessert. Of course, the shop cheeses produce very tasty, sweet and tender, but they are not beneficial to human health, mostly due to high sugar.

Their composition does not include the best ingredients: granulated sugar, butter, preservatives, dyes and other hazards. But even this set does not allow them to stay fresh for a long time. And not always written on the packaging shelf life can be trusted.

If you compare the finished product with the home, then their difference in caloric content is very different, about several times. Cheese cakes from the manufacturer contain 200 kcal per 100 grams, and bars prepared in their own kitchen carry 80-100 kcal for the same weight. Of course, it is important to take into account also the BJU norm, which is always exceeded in the first variant.

In addition, any ingredients other than cottage cheese can be added to homemade desserts:

• pieces of fruit;
• mint;
• white and boiled condensed milk;
• vanillin;
• lemons and oranges;
• chocolate.

The rules and plan for making homemade sweet cheese are fairly simple, but all recipes have their own nuances that you need to know and apply. The first step is to prepare all the binder ingredients and the necessary utensils. Next, remember the features for making your own cheeses.

• The curd should always be ground in a blender until uniform, and also ground through a perforated bowl. These actions are guaranteed to give the product a delicate and airy taste of childhood. In addition, you will avoid unpleasant lumps.
• To lower the calorie bar, it is important to use a small amount of sugar, as well as low-fat cottage cheese. The main condition is a good shelf life and proper storage.
• The curd must have a shape, so the mass needs to be prepared so that it is possible to sculpt a stable figure. For this, all liquid products must be introduced gradually. If you pour in condensed milk or jam into a still liquid mixture, your curds will just fall apart during the formation. Mix all the ingredients one by one, while carefully watching the consistency.

• Before covering the balls (or any other form) with melted chocolate, cooks advise to keep them in the freezer for a bit - 20 minutes. The difference can be seen when cooking will be done with great ease and pleasure.
• It is much easier to dip cheese curds with skewers. Form a curd mass around a thin stick and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. Then, holding the straw, carefully submerge the contents in the liquid.
• Chocolate for the glaze is required to be melted in a water bath with the addition of butter. This method will allow you to well dissolve the solid base and turn it into a viscous mixture. If you use a microwave, lumps can form.

It is worthwhile to dwell on several step-by-step recipes, because, fortunately, homemade curds are quite easy to make. Some are even suitable for people adhering to PP.

Invigorating and delicious vanillin will give the cottage cheese a pleasant smell and sweet sensation. The recipe of this dessert will not contain granulated sugar, therefore it is suitable for small children, pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Composition:

• whipped curd - 500 grams;
• butter - 100 grams;
• bitter dark chocolate - 100 grams;
• powdered sugar, optional - 100 grams;
• small bag of vanilla extract.

The curd must be thoroughly whipped to a liquid state and sent to a gauze bag. Wait until all the whey leaves the liquid curd, and proceed to cooking.

While the main product of the cheese is “resting”, additional preparation should be undertaken. In a separate bowl, mix the soft (not melted) butter and the rest of the ingredients on the list. We pour the cottage cheese, and, having mixed it carefully, we put it in the refrigerator.

After 10 minutes, take out the mixture and form glazed curds. To prevent them from sticking to your palms while cooking, you need to put some water in a cup and keep your hands wet.

The first thing is important to come up with a form that suits you. The best option would be a small sausage from the curd mass. Next, we make balls in wet hands and draw them to the desired appearance. Our cheese curds may resemble small cakes.

Wrap your homework in foil or film and hide it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Finally, we put dessert in chocolate and put it in the freezer for another 15 minutes. Take out during meals.

Sweet tooths simply cannot pass by an elegant cottage cheese dessert, because the filling of condensed milk is one of the most loved by people of all ages.

Condensed milk will be used as a filler. Unfortunately, it’s not so easy to pour liquid into something, so let's use a little trick. When the curd cheese has already been formed into a certain shape, take a knife and cut a little on top. In this slot pour condensed milk and gently pinch like dumplings. After that we dip in the glaze and expect frost.

The second option for reliable design is a silicone board with grooves. It will make it much easier and faster to follow all the instructions in the recipe. And also give curds beautiful appearance.

No less delicious will be the curd billet without a dark surface or cocoa. On the contrary, this look and taste will delight people who love white chocolate.

Consider a few tips that give experienced housewives. These recommendations will help to get a richer taste of the product, as well as to avoid mistakes during its preparation.

• For a rich and pleasant taste, it is better to always beat the cottage cheese in order to beat out all the lumps and irregularities. Soft and homogeneous mass will not allow glazed dessert to fall apart.
• Do not keep the ingredients or ready-made cheese in the freezer for too long, otherwise the product risks to be spoiled. It is necessary to cook food 1-2 times so that the snack is always tasty and fresh.
• For low-calorie sweets do not use sugar and chocolate icing. The best filling option is homemade jam. You can cook it yourself with your favorite berries and a blender.
