INGREDIENTS:
One cup of mixed dried fruits, including raisins, dried cranberries, dried apricots, and dried plums
Two tablespoons of quick-gel gelatin
half a cup of walnuts
half a cup of peanuts
half a cup of pumpkin seeds
Half a cup of cottage cheese
one-third cup yogurt
INSTRUCTIONS:
Getting the Dried Fruits Ready
The various dried fruits should first be soaked in water for 15 to 20 minutes. In this step, preservatives are removed and the fruits are gently hydrated.
After soaking, spread the fruits out to dry on a paper towel. After covering them with a second towel, let them to air dry.
Cut the fruits into tiny pieces once they’re dry to make incorporating them into the dessert easier.
Melting the Gelatin
Dissolve 20g of fast-dissolving gelatin in 100g of water while the fruits are drying. Put this mixture away.
Warming Up the Nuts
Roast the pumpkin seeds, peanuts, and walnuts in a pan. To keep them from burning, occasionally stir and toss them.
After roasting, remove the nuts and let them cool.
Blending Yogurt with Cottage Cheese
Put 80g of yogurt and 350g of cottage cheese in a big bowl. Using a hand blender, vigorously mix them until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Adding Gelatin
Melt the combination of gelatin that was previously set aside.
Transfer roughly 2 tablespoons of the cheese-yogurt mixture into the liquefied gelatin by stirring it in.
Re-pour this gelatin-cheese combination into the basin containing the leftover yogurt-cheese mixture. Use the hand blender to mix it once more. Everything will be held together by the gelatin.
Combining Nuts, Seeds, and Fruits
In the bowl with the cheese and gelatin mixture, add the roasted nuts, pumpkin seeds, and dried fruits. To ensure that all the ingredients are uniformly incorporated, thoroughly mix them with a ladle.
Forming the Blend
Scoop the mixture onto a piece of saran wrap with care.
Along the length of the wrap, form the mixture into a thick line.
Roll the saran wrap into a tube shape by rolling it like you would a sushi.
To make sure the mixture maintains its shape, firmly twist the ends of the saran wrap.
Refrigerator chilling
To let the mixture solidify, refrigerate it for about two hours after it has been wrapped.
Opening and Cutting
When the dessert is done, take it out of the fridge and open the saran wrap.
Cut the dessert into serving sizes. Every slice contains the ideal combination of protein, fiber, natural carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
