Coconut balls with cottage cheese

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Necessary Ingredients

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the raisins, pour boiling water and set aside for 10 minutes

3. Step 3:

   

   Nuts are fried: you can fry them in a frying pan, but since there are very few of them, I used a microwave oven, put it on for 2 minutes - and it's done! Instead of walnuts, you can take absolutely any: almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, peanuts - those that you have in stock

4. Step 4:

   

   My cottage cheese is grainy - you can rub it through a sieve, but it's faster and more convenient to use a blender. For such balls, cottage cheese is better to take a fat homemade, or 9% store-bought, like mine

5. Step 5:

   

   Add sugar or powdered sugar here

6. Step 6:

   

   Add vanilla

7. Step 7:

   

   If desired, add a little honey

8. Step 8:

   

   Wipe everything in a blender for a few minutes

9. Step 9:

   

   We should get a homogeneous mass

10. Step 10:

    

    Now add coconut chips, mix well, we get a mass similar to dough

12. Step 11:

    

    We leave a little for sprinkling the balls, 2-3 tablespoons will be enough

13. Step 12:

    

    We take a little curd-coconut mass and knead it into a flat cake, make a small recess in the center where we put the filling, I started with a nut, but unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of this stage)

14. Step 13:

    

    We form a ball with our hands

15. Step 14:

    

    Outside we roll in coconut chips

16. Step 15:

    

    Next, I took 0.5 teaspoons of condensed milk as a filling, these balls are very tender and they need to be molded more carefully than the rest

17. Step 16:

    

    Then I made a filling of cherries (I have canned pitted ones in their own juice)

18. Step 17:

    

    The last option is a filling of raisins, which by this time has already steamed. But this is not all the options for fillings - you can take a banana, dried apricots, prunes, various types of nuts, pieces of marmalade, and you can combine several fillings in one, for example nuts + raisins, nuts + cherries, cherries + raisins, etc. It all depends on your imagination and mood!

19. Step 18:

    

    That's the beauty we got! It is not possible to resist!

20. Step 19:

    

    Have a nice tea party!
