Polish cottage cheese Easter with dried fruits and nuts
Tender, moist Easter, with dried fruits and nuts, will be a decoration of any Easter table. It not only looks beautiful, but also tastes great! It is very easy and quick to make - not counting the waiting time, of course.
The main ingredient of this Easter is cottage cheese. We chose Hanusi cottage cheese from MLEKOVITA. It is a completely natural product, without preservatives, coloring and flavoring. Thanks to its 6.5% fat content, it is ideal for Easter, cheesecakes, cheesecakes and more. You can use it for other cakes or baked goods with cottage cheese. As well as light desserts, dumplings or pancakes.
Unlike most Easter recipes you'll find online, this one requires heating the egg and sugar mixture in a water bath. It takes a few minutes and attention, but the effect is worth it. Easter prepared this way will turn out very creamy and tender.
