A brief history of the recipe:
No-bake desserts have gained popularity in recent decades, appreciated for their speed and ease of preparation. These delights have become a popular choice among those who want to enjoy a sophisticated dessert without spending hours in the kitchen. The persimmon, on the other hand, is an ingredient that brings an exotic and vibrant note, enriching the dessert with vitamins and antioxidants.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of large round biscuits (about 200 g)
- 200 g of sweet cottage cheese (drained)
- 100 g of sugar
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 300 ml of liquid cream
- 1 sachet of gelatin (about 10 g)
- 2 ripe persimmons
- Chocolate candies for decoration
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preparing the cheese:
Start by placing the sweet cottage cheese in a large bowl. Add the sugar and vanilla sugar. Use a blender to mix the ingredients until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous paste. This step is essential to ensure a creamy texture for the dessert.
2. Adding the cream:
In the same mixture, add the liquid cream. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture at medium speed until it becomes airy and fluffy. It is important not to overmix to avoid overly whipped cream.
3. Preparing the gelatin:
In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 50 ml of warm water, stirring well to avoid lumps. Once the gelatin is completely dissolved, slowly add it to the cheese cream, gently mixing with a spatula. This step will help firm up the cream and achieve an ideal texture.
4. Preparing the persimmon:
Peel the persimmon and cut it into small cubes. This fruit has a sweet flavor and a pleasant texture that will perfectly combine with the cheese cream. Make sure to choose ripe persimmons, as they are the tastiest.
5. Assembling the dessert:
On a flat plate, start assembling the dessert. Place a layer of round biscuits, followed by a layer of cheese cream and persimmon cubes. Continue alternating layers of biscuits, cream, and persimmon until the ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of cream. Add chocolate candies on top for an attractive appearance and an extra touch of flavor.
6. Cooling:
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. This cooling time will allow the gelatin to set, giving the dessert a stable structure.
Practical tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to facilitate mixing.
- You can also use mascarpone cheese for a richer texture and a more intense flavor.
- If you prefer a slightly tangy taste, you can add a few drops of lemon juice to the cheese cream.
- Persimmon is a seasonal fruit, so replace it with other seasonal fruits like mango or peaches to vary the recipe.
Nutritional benefits:
This dessert is not only delicious but also nutritious. Sweet cottage cheese is rich in protein and calcium, while persimmons provide a considerable amount of vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants that protect the body. Additionally, the cream, although higher in calories, offers a wonderful texture that enhances the tasting experience.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use other types of biscuits?
Yes, you can replace the round biscuits with digestive biscuits or even whole grain biscuits for a healthier option.
2. How long can the dessert be kept in the refrigerator?
The cheese towers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but it is recommended to consume them within 48 hours to enjoy their freshness.
3. What drinks pair best with this dessert?
A fresh lemonade or a flavored fruit tea are the best choices to complement the sweetness of the dessert. If you prefer alcohol, a dry white wine could be an excellent combination.
