Simple five-ingredient no-bake dessert: made with cottage cheese

This dessert is even easier to prepare than a traditional cheesecake. The curd mass hardens even without a base. Moreover, it is delicious to add canned pineapple.

The idea of making a no-bake cottage cheese dessert was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Iryna (iriska_dimitrova). It can be eaten immediately after it hardens.

Ingredients:

• 600 g of 9% cottage cheese
• 1 can of canned pineapple (580 ml)
• 25 g of gelatin
• 80 ml of water
• 50-70 g of sugar/powdered sugar (optional)

Method of preparation:

1. Pour gelatin into cold water and let it swell.

2. Add canned pineapple syrup to cottage cheese and, if desired, sugar or powdered sugar.

3. Beat until smooth.

4. Melt the swollen gelatin in the microwave or in a water bath and gently stir into the curd mass.

5. Cut pineapples into pieces.

6. Add to the curd mass and mix thoroughly.

7. Transfer the cottage cheese and pineapple mixture into a silicone baking dish, smooth out, cover with foil and leave for at least 2-3 hours in the refrigerator to harden.
