Chocolate-Glazed Sweet Curd Bars

What you need

• 400 g (14 oz) full-fat curd cheese (tvorog), dry and crumbly, not wet; farmer's cheese works
• 50 g (3 1/2 tbsp) soft butter, for the filling
• 60 g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract, or 1 sachet (8 g) vanilla sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 200 g (7 oz) milk chocolate, chopped
• 20 g (1 1/2 tbsp) butter, for the glaze

Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   If the curd is wet, wrap it in a clean cloth and press out the liquid for 15 min.

2. 2

   Rub the curd through a fine sieve into a bowl. This makes the bars smooth rather than grainy.

3. 3

   Beat in the soft butter, powdered sugar, sour cream, vanilla and salt until the mass is uniform and holds its shape.

4. 4

   Line a tray with parchment. Shape the mass into 8 bars, each about 8 cm (3 in) long and 2 cm (3/4 in) thick.

5. 5

   Freeze the bars until firm but not rock hard, 30-40 min.

6. 6

   Melt the chocolate with the glaze butter in a heatproof bowl set over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Cool for 5 min so it is fluid but not hot.

7. 7

   Dip the bars one at a time, turning them with a fork so they are fully coated. Tap off the excess and set them on parchment.

8. 8

   Chill until the glaze is set, about 30 min. Keep refrigerated and eat within 3 days.
