For those who want to improve their health and appearance, cottage cheese is a must!

Surprisingly, many people are very cool about cottage cheese ... But they are happy to eat store-bought curd cheeses and sweet curds : (

Unfortunately, such delicacies do much more harm than good.

And not just because of sugar and artificial additives...

• Often they are made from cottage cheese, whose expiration date is about to end.
• And sometimes the basic raw materials cannot even be called cottage cheese - there is so much starch, vegetable fats and other additives ...

Do you think I advise you to forget about these goodies forever?

Not at all! I advise you to make them yourself and at home. After all, it is very simple. Follow my recipe with a photo, and before you have time to look back, everything will be ready. :)

Curd dessert, at first glance, it seems useful. However, in reality, it can be fraught with danger. After all, most often 50% of purchased curd masses are fake, prepared from expired and sour curd. And in order to be able to eat the curd mass, they add a lot of syrup, raisins and various other components, from which it becomes edible. However, there are no useful properties in it, of course, and you can even get poisoned with it. Therefore, today I propose to caring mothers and housewives for their families to cook their own cottage cheese mass according to our photo recipe at home. Moreover, this is done very simply with minimal time.

A healthy, real curd mass contains the most cottage cheese, a little less butter, and even less sugar. These are the products we will be using today. Shelf life of real curd mass, incl. and the one you cook is 72 hours.

Ready curd mass can not only be used independently. You can also cook a wide variety of delicious dishes from it. For example, cheesecakes, casseroles, lazy dumplings, donuts and other dishes. You can cook the mass from purchased cottage cheese, but it is better to use it.



- cottage cheese - 500 grams,
- butter - 50 grams,
- sour cream - 2 tbsp. l.,
- sugar - 60 grams.

Recipe with photo step by step:

Whisk the butter until white. This can be done with a blender, food processor or mixer.




Then add cottage cheese to the butter and beat everything again.




Put sour cream, sugar and whisk again. Now you need to beat the cottage cheese for at least 7-10 minutes to break up all its grains and sugar.










Tie the cheesecloth in a knot and hang the cottage cheese in a way convenient for you so that excess liquid (whey) flows out of it. The time for this process may take different for everyone, depending on the consistency of the cottage cheese. But I think that one hour will be enough for any cottage cheese.




After this time, transfer the cheese mass to a storage container and send it to the refrigerator, and if desired, put it on a plate and use it with fresh milk or tea.

How often do we buy cottage cheese mass for children or ourselves? For many, this is a favorite dessert, and it is simply necessary for children to eat cottage cheese in any form, and it is in the form of a delicious curd mass that they eat it best. And how often do you think that you can not buy the curd mass, but cook it yourself? Try it and see how easy it is!

We will not once again delve into stories about how useful cottage cheese is and how important it is to eat it regularly. And let's focus better on the options for its preparation, more precisely, on a very specific option - the curd mass.

Cottage cheese masses are called finely grated cottage cheese seasoned with various additives. We note right away that the curd mass can be not only “raw”, but also heat-treated, for example, boiled, and when baked, such a mass is already called cottage cheese casserole.

Among the most popular additives with which the curd mass is prepared are dried fruits and sugar. However, you can add almost anything you like to such masses - fresh berries or berries from jam, nuts, honey, candied fruits, chocolate, coconut flakes, etc. If you are preparing a dessert for yourself or a child, it would be quite logical to add your favorite products to the curd according to your or his individual taste. Including the curd mass may not be sweet, but salty - then various vegetables, spices, parsley, basil, cilantro and other aromatic herbs are added to it. Also, the curd mass can be prepared from fruits alone, without the addition of sweets, then its taste will be slightly sour, but pleasant.

Secrets of cooking sweet and savory curd masses

• If the cottage cheese used to prepare the curd mass is low-fat, and according to the recipe, fatty is needed, then in such a situation you can find an easy solution - add 100 g of butter for every 450 g of cottage cheese.
• One of the options for standard proportions for the preparation of any sweet curd mass: for every 500 g of cottage cheese, 2-3 egg yolks and 50-70 ml of milk. First, milk and yolks are added to the curd, then all this is whipped with a mixer at low speed until smooth, then additional ingredients are added.
• To make the mass sweet, but not too high-calorie, sugar can be replaced with liquid linden honey.
• It is better not to add more than 3 additives to any curd mass at the same time - one of the flavors will surely kill the others. Classic combinations for sweet mass - apples and raisins, crushed nuts and chocolate, or chocolate and wild berries; for unsweetened masses - chopped parsley and garlic, sweet purple onion and ground sweet paprika, tomato puree and allspice.
• Unsweetened curd masses go well with whole grain bread and are served as an appetizer with bread, while sweet ones are often served as an independent dish or baked from them - cheesecakes, casseroles, etc.
• For curd mass, it is not at all necessary, contrary to popular belief, to use only fatty cottage cheese - low-fat cottage cheese below 5% fat is also suitable.
• In order for the consistency of the mass to be tender, the cottage cheese should be rubbed through a sieve or twisted in a meat grinder, it can also be whipped with a mixer or ground with a blender - as you prefer. Also, for tenderness of the sweet mass, instead of sugar, it is better to add powdered sugar. However, it is not necessary to wipe the cottage cheese if you want the mass to have a granular texture.
• If the curd mass is tender and homogeneous, after cooking it must be placed under a press so that the whey leaves.

Cottage cheese is useful, but not everyone loves it. It is especially difficult to explain that children need to eat cottage cheese, while this product is necessary for a young body. But the children are happy to eat the sweet curd mass, which is used as an independent dessert or used to make cheesecakes, pies and other pastries. This delicacy is not a shortage: it is present in the assortment on the shelves of any grocery store. But it is not easy to get a quality product at an affordable price: the cheaper the curd delicacy, the less curd it contains, which is replaced with vegetable raw materials. Housewives who want to pamper their loved ones with sweet cottage cheese products often have no choice but to make cottage cheese mass at home. The decision to cook the product on your own allows you to choose a recipe to your liking, because this delicacy can be prepared with the addition of sour cream, butter, eggs, dried fruits, fresh or frozen berries. You can even find ways to make unsweetened cottage cheese spread to use as a spread on sandwiches.

Cooking features

It is not difficult to make curd mass: even if you choose the most complex recipe, any housewife will cope with this task. To get the best result, she will need to know a few points.

• The quality of the products used to make the curd mass is of decisive importance. If you purchase a curd product containing vegetable fats, you will get a delicacy no more useful than a store-bought one. The most delicious and healthy curd mass is obtained from homemade cottage cheese. Butter, if it is part of the dessert, cannot be replaced with a spread. Sour cream should be fresh, the percentage of its fat content is not critical.
• To prepare the cheese mass, you can use cottage cheese of any fat content, but usually a product with a fat content of 9% is preferred.
• To obtain a mass that has a pleasant texture, the cottage cheese must be passed through a sieve or meat grinder. You can stir the products with a spatula or use the help of kitchen appliances: a blender, a mixer.
• If the composition of the curd mass includes dried fruits, they should be steamed before being added to the curd mass, that is, pour hot water for 10–15 minutes, then squeeze. Large dried fruits (dried apricots, prunes) are cut before being added to the curd mass, raisins, dried cranberries and other medium-sized berries are left whole. You need to mix them into the cottage cheese last, without resorting to the help of kitchen appliances.
• When preparing a curd mass with fresh or frozen berries, they must first be sprinkled with sugar, and the juice that has stood out must be drained. It is useful for making fruit drinks or syrup, and it is better to add berries to cottage cheese with a minimum juice content so that the mass does not turn out to be too liquid and unappetizing.

Curd mass preparation technologies may vary slightly depending on the selected recipe. By following the instructions that accompany it, you will not make mistakes and get the expected result.
