When a rich feast is coming to an end, many guests are not enthusiastic about the offer of cake for dessert. Hard-to-stomach cakes and rich creamy cakes attract few people. Serve your guests curd jelly for dessert. A recipe with a photo will help you make it quickly and effortlessly. Desserts are best decorated with imagination. Their bright color and rich taste will be remembered by guests for a long time. You can also make a whole cake out of jelly. It has minimal calories, because it will consist of a single sponge cake. Read in this article various recipes for making jelly with cottage cheese and prepare delicious desserts.
From cottage cheese and milk
To warm up, let's start with perhaps the easiest recipe. This curd jelly is not suitable for a holiday dish, but it deserves to be eaten by the family at dinner. Place a saucepan with a glass of milk on low heat. Add two tablespoons of granulated sugar and stir thoroughly until it is completely dissolved. As soon as the first signs of boiling appear in the milk, turn off the heat. Add a soup spoon of instant edible gelatin. Stir, let cool to room temperature and put in the refrigerator (or, in cold weather, immediately put the saucepan on the balcony). When the mass thickens enough, mix it with a mixer with one hundred grams of baby cottage cheese (with vanilla, raisins or dried apricots). We'll put the dessert in bowls and put it in the refrigerator to wait for dinner. Before serving, you can garnish with mint leaves or berries.
Dessert "Zebra"
Let us now complicate our task. Soak 25 grams of gelatin in half a glass of cool 10% cream or whole milk. We do this in an iron mug. When the crystals swell after half an hour, place the container in a water bath. This means that we place a mug in a wide bowl of boiling water. Stir the mixture all the time until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Without bringing to a boil, remove from heat. Pass cottage cheese (400 g) through a sieve. This will make it easier for us to mix it with six tablespoons of sugar. Add 400 ml of sour cream to the sweet curd mass. Knead. Combine with cream and gelatin. We divide everything into two bowls. Add four tablespoons of cocoa powder to one of them and mix well. Now we begin to place our Zebra curd jelly dessert on the bowls. Place a little white mass on the bottom and smooth the surface with a knife. Next we place the brown layer. Then white again and so on. Decorate the top of the dessert with coconut shavings and place it in the refrigerator for several hours.
Three-layer curd and sour cream dessert with cocoa
This version of the curd dessert is no more difficult to prepare than the previous one, but it has a more impressive presentation due to the fact that the white and chocolate layers will look beautiful in transparent bowls. The layers can be laid out in different ways: chocolate - white - chocolate or vice versa white - chocolate - white.
This dessert includes:
- 300 g soft cottage cheese;
- 100 g sour cream;
- 100 g powdered sugar;
- 3 g vanillin (or 30 g vanilla sugar);
- 30 g gelatin;
- 60 g cocoa powder.
Due to the need to wait for the layers of gelatin to set, the cooking time for this sweet treat will be about 60 minutes.
The calorie content of the multi-colored layers will be 230.2 kcal/100 g.
Preparation procedure:
- Soak the gelatin in water and, while it swells, begin preparing the vanilla and chocolate base;
- Mix cottage cheese, powdered sugar and sour cream (it will make the dessert more tender). Beat the resulting mass well using kitchen gadgets: blender or mixer;
- Divide the resulting mass into two equal parts; add vanillin or vanilla sugar to one, and cocoa powder to the second. Mix both the chocolate and vanilla curd bases well so that the components are well distributed;
- Heat the gelatin until it dissolves completely. Then pour half into the vanilla mixture and the other half into the chocolate mixture. Mix;
- Fill portion bowls (cream bowls or other molds) with one of the mixtures in a 2 cm thick layer and place in the freezer for 15 minutes, but no more. Otherwise the mass will freeze;
- Then take it out and put a new layer of a contrasting color, put it back in the freezer for 15 minutes. Then repeat again, but simply put the dessert in the refrigerator, where it should stand until it completely hardens.
- Before serving, the dish can be removed from the mold (dipping it in hot water for a few seconds) and served on a flat plate or placed on the table directly in bowls. You can use nut or chocolate chips as a decoration and addition.
Curd jelly with fruits
For this dish, it is better to use canned pineapples in syrup, melon balls or peaches. In a word, all fruits that have a lot of juice are suitable. First, fill the gelatin package with a glass of warm water. Place on the fire and heat until the jelly thickener dissolves. While the mixture is cooling, cut the fruit into cubes and place them in bowls, filling them almost halfway. Rub four hundred grams of cottage cheese through a sieve. Mix it with two glasses of low-fat sour cream and a cup of powdered sugar. Add dissolved gelatin to the mixture. Place half of the mixture in bowls - on top of the fruit. Level the top with a knife. Add two or three tablespoons of cocoa to the second half. Mix and place in bowls on top of the white layer. Put the dessert in the refrigerator for three hours. Before serving, garnish with mint leaves.
With agar-agar
No-bake cottage cheese desserts are quickly prepared with both gelatin and agar-agar. There are even low-calorie treats with this additive that can be eaten on a diet.
Diet option
You should definitely add vanilla extract to this dessert. It gives the treat a very appetizing delicate aroma.

- With a dairy product, you immediately need to process softened butter, honey (pre-melted in a water bath or in the microwave) or the selected sweetener.
- Agar-agar should be diluted in warm milk, then put the mixture on the fire, bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes.
- After the mixture from step 3, you need to pour it into the curd mass, stir very quickly.
All that remains is to put the treat into portioned molds and put it in a cool place overnight. Before serving, you can supplement the dessert with fruits or berries.
"Old Riga"

Ingredients:
- cottage cheese – 370-400 g;
- sour cream - 1 tbsp.;
- agar-agar – 20-25 g;
- diced pineapples (canned) – 1 can;

Preparation:
- Agar-agar should be poured with pineapple juice for approximately 40-45 minutes. You can also add syrup drained from canned fruits to the mixture.
- Place the cottage cheese in a separate bowl along with sour cream, condensed milk and vanilla. These components must be blended with a blender until smooth.
- When the agar-agar has swollen enough, you will need to mix it with the curd mass from the second step and fruit cubes.
- Afterwards, the dessert must be distributed into molds and stored in the refrigerator.
After 2-3 hours you can take a sample. If desired, the treat is decorated with chocolate, any berries, and colored sprinkles.
Fresh berry jelly
Farm fresh cottage cheese with blueberries is a classic. And if they are combined into jelly, then the result is a real extravaganza of taste! We start cooking in the same way as in the previous recipe - we make a thickener from gelatin and water. Rub 200 grams of cottage cheese through a sieve. Fill it with a glass of orange juice (fresh is preferable). Add a couple of tablespoons of cane sugar. Mix with a blender. Pour a third of the thickener and a glass of cream into this mass. Stir and pour into bowls. We put the vases in the refrigerator and start eating the berries. Grind 150 grams of blueberries and raspberries into a puree in different containers. Add a third of the thickener to each bowl. When the curd jelly hardens a little, pour raspberries on it. Place in the refrigerator for a quarter of an hour. When the raspberry jelly has set, add the blueberry mixture. Cover each bowl with cling film. We will start decorating the desserts four hours after they have been in the refrigerator. Whipped cream and a couple of fresh whole berries are suitable for decoration.
What is gelatin made from?
And it is made by extracting adhesive substances from the joints and tendons of cattle. The composition of gelatin is dominated by proteins - eighty-five percent of the total mass.
But the main feature is not even in it, but in the collagen content. Collagen is a fibrous protein. It provides elasticity to connective tissue. Over time, our tendons and joints begin to hurt, become stiffer and the ligaments lose their elasticity.
This can be prevented by eating dishes made from gelatin.
Jelly with cottage cheese and yogurt
We begin work by preparing the thickener. While it cools, knead or strain 200 grams of fresh cottage cheese through a sieve. Now mix this fluffy mass with three heaped spoons of sugar. Let's add two standard packages of yogurt (not drinking) with any fruit flavor. Stir and pour half a glass of cream (medium fat content). At the end, add diluted gelatin. Now let's think about how to serve our curd jelly in an original way. Photos on culinary sites give us a lot of interesting ideas. Here is one of them. Line a baking tray with high sides with cling film. Let's pour out the still liquid mass. Let it harden in the cold. Now let's chop it into small cubes. Place a spoonful of thick jam on the bottom of the tartlets. Place cottage cheese and yogurt jelly in the baskets. Pour topping on top.

Jelly with cottage cheese and kefir
This dessert is suitable for those who are on a diet. Soak two tablespoons of instant gelatin in water. After half an hour, put it on the fire, stir and set aside to cool. Rub cottage cheese (200 g) through a sieve and mix with the same amount of granulated sugar. You can replace some of it with liquid honey. Lightly heat regular fat kefir (400 ml). Pour it over the cottage cheese. Add gelatin there. Puree a handful of fresh or frozen strawberries (but any other berries will do) using a blender or a simple fork. Also add to curd jelly. Let's add some lemon or orange zest. This will add flavor to the dessert. Dip the edges of the bowls into water and then into coconut flakes. It will look like frost. Divide the jelly into bowls. Place in the refrigerator for three hours. Decorate the dessert with whole berries, mint leaves and jam.
Jelly with cottage cheese and sour cream
We will use canned fruits in this product: peaches, pineapples or assorted cocktails. To balance the sour taste of sour cream, the main ingredient will be not ordinary cottage cheese, but baby mass - with vanilla or raisins. But we start work, as always when dealing with jelly, by preparing a thickener. While the gelatin is cooling, finely chop the fruit (2 peaches or several pineapple rings). Add a glass of sour cream and granulated sugar to children's curds (400 grams). Stir until smooth. Now you can add slightly cooled gelatin. Mix the curd and sour cream jelly again. Place fruit on the bottom of the bowls. Place half the amount of jelly on them. Add two tablespoons of cocoa powder to the remaining portion. Stir and place on top of the white dessert layer. Place the bowls in the cold for two to three hours. Decorate with whipped cream, candied fruits and nuts.
Sponge-curd cake with jelly
This dessert will be an excellent treat after a rich feast. The cool jelly on top of the cake looks great and stimulates the appetite, especially in the hot summer. First, let's bake the sponge cake. Mix softened butter (50 g) with 75 g of sugar. Add three eggs and two spoons of sour cream. Stir until smooth. Add flour and a packet of baking powder. The dough should be “wet”. Add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa and a handful of nuts. Mix, put in the pan and set to bake. Now prepare the second layer of cheesecake. Pass two hundred grams of cottage cheese through a sieve. Mix with a glass of sour cream and 2-3 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Spread this mixture onto the prepared and now cooled biscuit cake. Let's put the cake in the refrigerator so that the cheesecake can “set”. You can put either regular fruit jelly or cottage cheese jelly on top. To do this, prepare a thickener, mix it with the cheese mixture, and put it in the cold. When the jelly becomes viscous, spread it on top of the cake.
