  • 100g currants

Instructions:

1. Beat the cottage cheese with 2 tablespoons of strawberry or raspberry jam to taste, and rinse the fruits.

2. For a beautiful presentation, layer in verrines or small glasses: Start with a tablespoon of jam at the bottom, top with a thick layer of cottage cheese, sprinkle currants, add another cheese layer, and finish with raspberries on top.

Enjoy your ultra-light dessert immediately! It's perfect for family dinners or a quick workday lunch, prepared in under 10 minutes.

Experiment with seasonal fruits like peaches and apricots for variety—a peach-topped version on apricot jam is divine.
