Cottage cheese cake with almonds and dried fruits

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the food. Take the cottage cheese fatter. I had 9%. It can be even fatter, but not less. The cream should also be fat - at least 33%. The butter is not salty. Almonds can be replaced with hazelnuts, cashews, pecans or walnuts. And, in general, add what you like, so it will turn out even tastier for you!)))

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour the cottage cheese into a bowl, add softened butter and whisk well with a blender. Beat until the mass becomes homogeneous and the butter is completely combined with the cottage cheese.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add sour cream and mix well.

4. Step 4:

   

   Beat eggs with sugar, add cream. Mix thoroughly. Put it on the stove and cook over low heat until thickened. Do not forget to constantly stir !!!

5. Step 5:

   

   Cook to such a consistency. Stir continuously so that the eggs do not curdle or burn... Cool slightly.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add dried fruits and nuts to the curd mass. Add what you like - candied fruits, dried fruits, raisins... If the pieces are large, then cut. Mix well.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add warm cream. Mix very thoroughly. So that the mass becomes homogeneous and the cream with dried fruits is evenly distributed throughout the mass.

9. Step 8:

   

   Take a cake pan according to the type of colander. I have a steaming saucepan. Cover with gauze folded in two. Make sure that the edges of the gauze hang down with a margin.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put the curd mass into the mold. Spread gradually, carefully tamping each layer. Close the edges of the gauze.

11. Step 10:

    

    Place the form with the cake in a larger container so that the excess liquid can drain. Cover with a plate and put under pressure in the refrigerator for 10-12 hours.

12. Step 11:

    

    After the specified time, take out the cake and decorate to your liking. I whipped cream, cut the remains of prunes into the middle, decorated with flowers through the sleeve and sprinkled with traditional tinsel"!))) Ate everything in 20 minutes!!!
