Cheese foam with strawberries and cherries – a quick and refreshing dessert for hot summer days Looking for a simple and delicious dessert that will bring a smile to your loved ones' faces? Cheese foam with strawberries and cherries is the perfect choice! This dessert not only comes together quickly, but it's also an explosion of fresh flavors, making it ideal for enjoying on summer evenings. Whether you're preparing it for a festive meal or simply to treat yourself, this dessert is sure to become a favorite. Preparation time: 15 minutes Chilling time: 1 hour Number of servings: 6 Recipe history Cheese foam is a dessert that has evolved over time, with roots in various culinary cultures. Although the modern version we know today is often associated with creamy dairy products and seasonal fruits, the concept of combining cheese with sweet ingredients dates back centuries. This simple recipe blends tradition with fresh ingredients, paying homage to the warm season with delicious summer fruits. Necessary ingredients - 125g powdered sugar - 250g cottage cheese (ideally use a quality one for a more intense flavor) - 200ml liquid cream (make sure it's cold for better whipping) - 100g mascarpone (for extra creaminess) - 200g strawberries (fresh, sweet, and fragrant) - 200g cherries (pitted, fresh, and juicy) Types of fruits While the recipe is perfect with strawberries and cherries, you can vary the ingredients according to your preferences. Raspberries, currants, or blueberries are just as delicious and add a vibrant and colorful note to your dessert. Don't hesitate to experiment! Step by step for a perfect result 1. Preparing the cheese: In a large bowl, add the cottage cheese and powdered sugar. Use a fork or mixer to blend the ingredients. It's important to achieve a smooth mixture, without lumps, that is creamy and easy to mix. 2. Whipping the cream: In another bowl, whip the liquid cream. Make sure it's well chilled, as cream whips better when cold. Use an electric mixer to achieve a firm cream that holds its shape. 3. Combining the ingredients: Once the cream is whipped, add one tablespoon of mascarpone at a time, continuing to mix gently. After adding all the mascarpone, gradually fold in the cottage cheese with sugar into the whipped cream mixture. Use a spatula to maintain the airiness of the mixture, so the foam remains light. 4. Filling the glasses: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill 6 small glasses (or dessert cups) with the cheese foam, leaving a little space at the top. 5. Adding the fruits: Wash, pit, and dry the strawberries and cherries well. Cut the strawberries in half and arrange them beautifully on top of the foam. If using cherries, ensure they are pitted and place them on top. For an attractive look, you can place a whole strawberry in the center of each glass. 6. Finalizing: If you want an extra touch of sweetness, you can dust the dessert with sugar. I chose not to use additional sugar; instead, I crushed a few strawberries and poured their juice over the cut ones in the glass to add a note of freshness. 7. Serving: The dessert is served immediately, but if you want to prepare it a day in advance, I recommend using a packet of Dr. Oetker Red Tort Gel to pour over the fruits. This trick will help keep it fresh and add an interesting texture. Useful tips - Make sure the ingredients, especially the cream, are very cold to achieve a perfect texture. - If you don't have mascarpone, you can use only cottage cheese, but the taste will be less creamy. - Instead of powdered sugar, you can use honey or agave syrup for a healthier alternative. - Vary the fruits according to the season; don't hesitate to use the best available fruits! Nutritional benefits This dessert is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, thanks to the cottage cheese and fresh fruits. Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein and calcium, while strawberries and cherries are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, contributing to a balanced diet. Approximate calories per serving: 180-220 kcal Possible variations To add a personal touch, you can try enriching the foam with vanilla or lemon flavors. You can also add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for an extra texture. Recommended pairings Cheese foam with strawberries and cherries pairs perfectly with a glass of cold lemonade or a fruit tea. Also, for a moment of indulgence, you can enjoy this dessert alongside a semi-dry white wine, which will complement the sweet and sour flavors of the fruits. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use store-bought cottage cheese? Yes, make sure to choose a fresh and quality variant for the best taste. 2. Can I prepare the dessert with other fruits? Of course! Raspberries, blueberries, or peaches are all excellent options. 3. How can I store the foam? It is recommended to consume it the same day, but you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Now that you have all the necessary information, all that's left is to get cooking! Cheese foam with strawberries and cherries will surely bring a note of joy and freshness to your warm summer days. Enjoy every bite and savor the delights of summer!
