Ingredients

For the base of a chocolate cake (approximate weight – 1 kg):

• shortbread cookies with cocoa – 170 g;
• butter 82.5% – 50 g;
• milk – 20-30 ml.

For the cream:

• pasty cottage cheese (without grains) - 400 g;
• sour cream – 100 g (natural yogurt is also suitable);
• powdered sugar – 80 g;
• vanillin – 1.5 g;
• soft butter 82.5% – 150 g.

For decoration:

• chocolate – 50 g.

Pasty cottage cheese can be purchased at the store or prepared in advance from 2 liters of kefir, which were left in the freezer overnight.

Cooking

If the cottage cheese is store-bought, then skip the first 4 points.

1. Freeze the kefir, and then release it from the packaging. Place the frozen kefir in a colander covered with 4 layers of gauze.

2. After defrosting, hang the nodule with the contents for 4 hours so that the serum can drain into a separate container.

3. To make the cottage cheese more dense, do not unfold it, but leave it under a slight yoke for another couple of hours.

4. Next, remove the most delicate pasty cottage cheese from the gauze – its weight is approximately 400 g. The resulting serum can be used for pancakes, pies, etc.

5. Grind cookies in any convenient way.

6. Add warmed butter to the cookie crumbs. Mix everything until smooth.

7. Next, pour in the milk. The structure of the base should become plastic, but at the same time easily disintegrate when pressed.

8. Line the sides of the mold with silicone strips or confectionery film. Form diameter: 18 cm. Compact the cookie base with a flat object. Put the workpiece in the refrigerator.

9. In the meantime, work on the cream. Combine cottage cheese with sour cream.

10. Stir everything with a blender until silky smooth.

11. Separately, beat soft butter with flavored vanilla and powdered sugar. You should get a light air mass.

12. Add half of the curd composition to it and turn on the mixer again.

13. After that, combine everything with the remaining cottage cheese.

14. Put the cream on the prepared sand cake.

15. Grate chocolate.

16. Sprinkle them over the cake and send it back to the refrigerator.

17. After 2 hours, remove the side film and you can brew tea.

Such a quick-to–prepare chocolate cake made of cookies without baking and without gelatin can be varied by adding some berries to the cream - strawberries, cherries, raspberries.

Try it, bon appetit!
