Step-by-step preparation of chocolate manna with cottage cheese balls - recipe with photo
First of all, prepare the dough. Break eggs into a bowl and add sugar. Beat until fluffy.
Add kefir, flour, semolina.
Add cocoa. Stir the dough gently with a whisk or fork to stay clean. If you choose to stir the dough with a mixer, then cocoa will be throughout the kitchen. Therefore, mix with your hands, then you can turn on the mixer and bring the dough to homogeneity. Leave the dough to swell the semolina for 20 minutes. After the indicated time, add baking powder to the dough and stir.
Now let's prepare the curd balls. Beat an egg into the curd, add semolina, sugar and flour. Mix with a fork. If you are a keen fan of coconut flakes, then add 100 g of coconut flakes instead of semolina and flour. The combination of cottage cheese, chocolate and coconut flakes is ideal. But just not everyone loves coconut.
We pick up the curd mass with a boat and roll the ball with wet hands. We put them on a plate and send them to the freezer. For 15-20 minutes.
The semolina is swollen, the curd balls are frozen, the oven warms up - we continue. Pour part of the dough into a detachable form, greased with oil. Put curd balls into the dough.
Pour the remaining dough into the mold.
We bake the manna for 40 minutes at 180 degrees on the middle shelf of the oven. The finished manna should not be immediately taken out of the form. Leave it in the form until it cools completely. He should move away from the walls, if this did not happen, walk with a knife along the entire side of the form.
Decorate the manna with powdered sugar or chocolate icing.
Here is such a beautiful cut in this cake. Do you want to try a bite? We invite you to tea!
