Curd mass - recipe. Curd mass with dried apricots Curd mass with dried apricots

December 13, 2015

We think that no one needs to be agitated in the sense that cottage cheese is a valuable food product that contains easily digestible, complete milk protein, and is also rich in calcium and phosphorus, and in an optimal ratio for the body. Cottage cheese is simply delicious and most people enjoy it on its own or in any dishes in which it is used. Well, pampering yourself with soft and delicate curd masses of your own making is a lovely thing :) It’s easy to prepare curd mass at home – literally a couple of minutes of interaction with a blender, and the composition and consistency of the mass is absolutely to your taste.

Curd mass is carefully (or not so :-)) pureed cottage cheese, to which certain ingredients are added to improve the taste and consistency. Curd masses can be raw or custard (boiled). Curd masses are prepared sweet and not sweet from cottage cheese of any fat content - according to your preferences. It is clear that the most useful are raw curd masses made from fresh homemade cottage cheese.

The freshness of cottage cheese is an indispensable condition when making curd masses at home, especially raw ones. Both the cottage cheese itself, and especially the curd masses, are perishable products. Raw curd masses should be prepared with special care, preferably for one time, and if you have to store it, then only in the refrigerator and no more than 72 hours, but we would advise not to risk it and handle it within a day. The more additives there are in the mass, the shorter the guarantee of its safe storage.

You can grind the cottage cheese into a mass manually, using a sieve, or pass it through a meat grinder, but after the blender has become an ordinary inhabitant of any kitchen, you don’t even want to remember about labor-intensive methods of rubbing :) Those who prepare curd masses at home regularly are great knows that, as a rule, certain ingredients are added to the cottage cheese during mashing, depending on the consistency of the cottage cheese itself - “by eye” and by taste. In fact, pureed fairly juicy cottage cheese with sugar and salt is already a curd mass, the simplest one. If you are preparing from dense dry cottage cheese, but you want a mixture with a softer consistency, add milk, or cream, or sour cream of your preferred fat content. If you allow yourself to enjoy curd masses that are more calorie-rich, then if you wish, you can add butter to the mass - from a little to 20% of the mass of cottage cheese. Curd masses with the addition of butter harden better when cooled and are often used to prepare curd “cheeses” in chocolate glaze. That's what they call them - .

For a better aroma, ground spices, most often vanillin, are added to the curd masses. You can also add raisins and other dried fruits, fresh fruit or berry purees, fruit syrups, honey, cocoa, chocolate, nuts - whatever you like in this regard, but without excesses, so that the added ingredients do not blur the taste of each other :)

Today we are going to prepare raw sweet curd mass - the simplest, no-fuss, using a blender. You will get 600-650 grams of mass. Look how easy it is :)

• Preparation: 5 minutes
• Preparation: 5 minutes
• It will turn out: 600-650 grams

Ingredients

500 grams of homemade cottage cheese (or whatever you have :-))

2-4 tablespoons sugar, to taste

a pinch of salt, or no salt

2-3 tablespoons of milk, or sour cream, or heavy cream (for dry cottage cheese)

If desired, additionally:

1-2 tablespoons butter (for low-fat cottage cheese)

3 Rub for one minute until a homogeneous mass is formed.

4 Test the mass for taste and consistency. We determine for ourselves that we can add sugar and vanillin, and the consistency is excellent; we don’t need to add sour cream. Add two more tablespoons of sugar and a little vanilla, rub for another minute. Place half the mixture in a bowl. Nice :)

5 And now, for clarity, let’s say we want the mass to be thinner and more tender. Just add a spoon or two of sour cream to the mixture.

6 And wipe it again. The second half of the mass turned out like this - more tender and softer, but still quite thick and holds its shape steadily. It’s amazing how good she is :)

7 All you have to do is decide which mass you like best. If you want it even more tender, just add a spoonful of sour cream or cream until the consistency of the mass satisfies you. When cooled, the curds thicken a little more.

The curd mass does not have to be made sweet. There are many delicious recipes for non-sweet curd masses - with salt, pepper, garlic, onions, herbs, tomato paste.

It is also not necessary to grind the cottage cheese into a smooth puree - if you prefer the grainy structure of the curd masses, then simply mash the cottage cheese with a fork.

Sometimes, for better consistency, raw eggs or egg yolks are added to the curd masses. For safety reasons, it is better to prepare curd masses to which eggs are added using the custard method - after straining, bring to a boil, do not cook, but immediately remove from heat and cool quickly by immersing the pan in cold water. The consistency of custard curd masses is thinner due to the waste of whey when heated, so such masses are usually pressed for better consistency. This is exactly how traditional Easter custard curds are prepared :)

Baked curd masses are called casseroles and are prepared according to many delicious recipes :)

Happy experimenting and bon appetit!

We will not once again delve into stories about how healthy cottage cheese is and how important it is to eat it regularly. Let’s focus better on the options for its preparation, or more precisely, on a very specific option - curd mass.

Curd masses are finely pureed cottage cheese seasoned with various additives. Let us immediately note that the curd mass can be not only “raw”, but also heat-treated, for example, boiled, and when baked, such a mass is already called.

Among the most popular additives with which curd mass is prepared are dried fruits and sugar. However, you can add almost anything you like to such masses - fresh berries or berries from jam, nuts, honey, candied fruits, chocolate, coconut flakes, etc. If you are preparing a dessert for yourself or a child, it would be quite logical to add favorite products to the cottage cheese that suit your or his individual taste. In particular, the curd mass may not be sweet, but salty - then various vegetables, spices, parsley, basil, cilantro and other aromatic herbs are added to it. Also, the curd mass can be prepared from fruits alone, without adding sweets, then its taste will be slightly sour, but pleasant.

Secrets of making sweet and unsweetened curd masses

• If the cottage cheese used to prepare the curd mass is low-fat, but the recipe requires fat, then in this situation you can find an easy solution - add 100 g of butter for every 450 g of cottage cheese.
• It is better not to add more than 3 additives at the same time to any curd mass - one of the flavors will definitely overwhelm the others. Classic combinations for sweet mass are apples and raisins, crushed nuts and chocolate, or chocolate and wild berries; for unsweetened masses - chopped parsley and garlic, sweet purple onion and ground sweet paprika, tomato puree and allspice.
• Unsweetened curd masses go well with whole grain bread and are served as a snack with bread, while sweet ones are often served as an independent dish or used to make baked goods - casseroles, etc.
• For the curd mass, it is not at all necessary, contrary to popular belief, to use only fatty cottage cheese - low-fat cottage cheese below 5% fat content is also suitable.
• To keep the consistency of the mass tender, the cottage cheese should be rubbed through a sieve or twisted in a meat grinder; it can also be beaten with a mixer or ground using a blender - whichever is more convenient for you. Also, to make the sweet mass more tender, it is better to add powdered sugar instead of sugar. However, it is not necessary to wipe the cottage cheese if you want the mass to have a grainy consistency.

Hello, dear readers. Today I want to show you how to make curd mass from homemade cottage cheese. We do this so that the child eats cottage cheese, and not only. Sometimes it is very difficult to force a child to eat cottage cheese, honey, bacteria, or even a vitamin that is not tasty, but which must be given. And I’ll show you how you can disguise all this in cottage cheese. In consistency it will not differ from children’s favorite store-bought children’s cottage cheese, but in terms of benefits it will be 100% superior. The taste will be very tempting for children, and can be different for the better if you try.

It couldn't be easier. What we need for this:

• Cottage cheese
• Kefir
• Sugar
• Any berries or sweet preparations
• Blender for mixing (optional)

We will start preparing the curd mass at home with a blender; of course, you can mix it all with a fork, if not hard berries, but a blender is more convenient and faster.

I will be making a light dinner for the whole family, so the proportions for 4 people have already been checked more than once. Today I will use fresh plums as a flavoring agent.

I take 5 plums, wash them and remove the pits. I put everything in a blender and grind it. You can, of course, grind them differently, grind them through a sieve. But it takes longer, but using a blender is faster and more convenient.

We had 180 grams of crushed plums.

Add 400 grams of homemade cottage cheese and one 250 gram glass of kefir, also homemade, to the blender. We make kefir ourselves, buying fresh milk from a thrush friend.

Now add sugar or honey. For example, we added 3 tablespoons of sugar to this proportion. Honey can overpower the taste of our flavoring. Honey is best used separately.

You look at the sweetness according to your taste. After all, if you use ground preparations instead of berries, then the proportions will be different. For example, you can use it, it turns out very tasty.

Now we grind it all with a blender. If you are trying to hide cottage cheese, or disguise it as store-bought, then grind it into puree. We don’t always make a small fraction so that the stomach does not get used to easily digestible food.

At this stage, you can add any “healthy fillers”. We use live bacteria, and children don't even know about it. And the benefits of this are enormous. This is what our family dinner looks like today.

I will now show you what we use as a filler and what berries we use. Please note the top of the photo, this is a small portion of the ingredients that can be used.

For example, from left to right. 700 gram jar - ground black currants with sugar, on the jar of plums, in front of the jar - live bacteria. The second jar on the left is raspberries ground with sugar, with an apple on top. You can grate it, or just grind it in a blender first. Third jar, apricot steamed and ground through a sieve. Stored in the refrigerator as raw jam, mixed with sugar. Honey stands in front of him. And the pearl of our collection is strawberries ground with sugar. Everyone loves her and apricot the most.

But that’s not all, you can add raisins, flakes, nuts, muesli to the finished curd, in general, everything your heart desires.

And at the bottom of the photo I show a light snack. This was already done the next day, since I was too lazy to write that day. This time everything is simple, cottage cheese, kefir, strawberries ground with sugar and bacteria. There was enough sweetness in the strawberries too. Now we are trying to make such light and healthy desserts for children more often.

If you don’t have fresh preparations, then any jam will do, just without seeds. Or even jam. In winter, when we run out of fresh berries in the refrigerator, we will use or just honey. And from last year we still have various sweets in the form of jam. I think this year they will be more active.

Our mother made us this kind of cottage cheese when we were children. I added one chicken egg yolk and a spoonful of honey to a bowl of cottage cheese. I mixed it all with a fork; we didn’t have a blender then. Despite the fact that they were invented a long time ago. It was the most delicious cottage cheese. I still make this for myself sometimes for breakfast. Only instead of yolk I use several quail eggs.

Now you are an expert in making curd mass at home. Explained everything clearly and with photographs. The main thing is not to be afraid of new tastes.
