Ingredients

Scale

40 g dried cranberries
100 g dried apricots
130 g plums
100 ml water
20 g instant gelatine
150 g walnuts
50 g pine nuts
50 g almonds
50 g cashew nuts
350 g cottage cheese
150 g natural yoghurt

Instructions

Soak the cranberries, apricots, and plums in cold water for 15-20 minutes to remove preservatives and activate beneficial substances. Then, pat them dry.
Mix the gelatine with water and let it swell for about 5-10 minutes.
In a blender, combine the walnuts, pine nuts, almonds, cashew nuts, cottage cheese, and natural yoghurt. Blend until you achieve a homogeneous mass.
Gently heat the swollen gelatine until melted, being careful not to boil. Mix a small part of the nut and cottage cheese mixture into the gelatine to temper it.
Gradually combine the tempered gelatine mixture with the rest of the nut and cottage cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Prepare a mold using an empty juice or milk carton by cutting it open. Pour the mixture into the carton, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
