Jelly cottage cheese and sour cream cake with grapes

Jelly cottage cheese and sour cream cake with grapes is a delicious and simple dessert that does not require much effort to prepare. Delicate jelly made from cottage cheese, sour cream and milk and pieces of grapes - a great combination! To make the cake look elegant, you can use grapes of different colors.

Ingredients

• Cottage cheese 9% - 700 g
• Sour cream 20% - 300 g
• Milk 2.5% - 200 ml
• Sugar - 200 g (or to taste)
• Green grapes - 150 g
• Grapes blue - 150 g
• Instant gelatin - 30 g

Directions

1. Prepare the ingredients.
2. Wash grapes and let dry.
3. Combine milk and gelatin in a saucepan or microwaveable bowl.
4. Stir and leave for 10 minutes for the gelatin to swell.
5. Meanwhile, combine cottage cheese, sour cream and sugar in a bowl.
6. Blend thoroughly with an immersion blender until smooth. If there is no blender, then I advise you to first rub the cottage cheese 1-2 times through a fine sieve so that it becomes as smooth as possible.
7. Put the saucepan with the swollen gelatin on a small fire and, stirring, heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Don't boil! If you are heating the mass in the microwave, then use short pulses so as not to overheat, otherwise the gelatin will lose its gelling properties.
8. Add a few tablespoons of curd and sour cream to the gelatin solution and mix.
9. Pour the resulting mixture into the main curd-sour cream mass and mix well. The cake base is quite thin at this point, so refrigerate it for 5-10 minutes to thicken it up a bit. Watch, otherwise the mass may freeze right in the bowl.
10. Meanwhile, cut the grapes into halves or into smaller pieces and remove the pits. I have seedless green grapes, so I left a small part of the berries whole.
11. Add prepared grapes to a slightly frozen cake base. To decorate the cake, I left a handful of chopped blue and green grapes, but you can decorate according to your taste and mix all the grapes into the mass if you wish.
12. Prepare a detachable form with a diameter of 18-22 cm. I use a confectionery ring - I installed it on a flat plate, covered the sides with acetate film (to make the cake easier to remove).
13. Fill the mold with jelly.
14. Put the reserved grapes on top, pressing it into the mass. Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to set.
15. After the cake has hardened, carefully free it from the ring and film. If you didn't cover the sides with cling film, then to free the cake, you can run a knife along the walls or heat the sides with a hair dryer.
16. Jelly cottage cheese and sour cream cake with grapes is ready.
17. When serving, cut the cake with a hot and dry knife (dip it briefly in hot water, and then wipe it dry).
18. Enjoy your meal!
