Puff Baskets with Homemade Cream Cheese

by Editorial Staff

You can surprise your loved ones with a fairly simple but effective dessert. My family liked these baskets very much, because they are not sugary and very light.

Ingredients

  • For cream cheese:
  • Kefir – 0.5 l
  • Ryazhenka – 0.5 l
  • Sour cream – 0.3 l
  • Apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar – 1 tbsp
  • Salt – 2 pinches
  • For filling:
  • Cream cheese (homemade) – 300 g
  • Sugar – 1 glass
  • Potato starch (we use it as a thickener for cream) – 2 teaspoon
  • Nuts to your taste (I took pine nuts) – 30 g
  • Vanillin – 1 sachet
  • Fresh strawberries (or other fruits of your choice) – 500 g
  • For baskets:
  • Puff pastry (ready-made, from the store) – 1 pack (about 0.5 kg)
  • Sugar – 1 teaspoon
  • Ground cinnamon – 1 pinch

Directions

  1. Mix sour cream, fermented baked milk and kefir in a saucepan, add salt and vinegar, mix well until a homogeneous mass is formed. We take a colander or sieve, put it in a large container, into which the whey will drain. We cover the colander with a dense clean cloth, pour our mass onto the cloth and leave it for a couple of hours at room temperature. Two hours later, when the mass began to thicken slightly, we wrap the cloth and send our future cheese to the refrigerator for a day. After a day, we take out the cheese from the colander, transfer it to a clean container. Everything, delicious and tender cheese is ready.
  2. Now we are preparing the filling. Beat our cream-cheese with a blender, gradually adding sugar (you can take less sugar if you like a not very sweet cream), add vanillin. As the sugar dissolves into the cheese, the cream will become thinner. Continuing to beat, gently add the potato starch. When the cream thickens, stop beating. Our cream is ready.
  3. And finally, the baskets themselves. We grease the molds for baskets with vegetable oil. Defrost the dough, divide it into 12 parts. With our hands we form cakes from the dough and line our molds with the dough. Place parchment paper squares on top of the dough and fill the molds with dried peas or other cereals. This is necessary in order for the dough to retain its shape. We send our molds to an oven preheated to 200 degrees. The baskets are baked for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
  4. We take out the baskets from the molds. Sprinkle the bottom of the baskets with sugar and cinnamon and let them cool. Then fill them with cream, put strawberries cut in half on top, sprinkle with nuts. Decorate with fresh mint leaves, powdered sugar and serve.
