If you think that cooking chocolate curds in your own kitchen is simply unrealistic, then you are very deeply mistaken - this is a very quick and quick recipe. You will be able to appreciate the taste of the cooked dish in literally half an hour, just have a little patience, as you will have to put or get chocolate molds from the freezer every now and then.

As you can see, the ingredients do not contain a single dye, thickener or emulsifier, with which the wraps from the shop cheese curds are dazzled! A minimum of products with a maximum taste - that is what home cooking chocolate dessert means. To create cheese curds you will definitely need silicone molds. It is best to choose round shapes, not embossed - the chocolate walls of cheese curds are better off.
Choose a sort of chocolate you chose into pieces and place in a bowl that you put in a water bath - an ordinary saucepan or a ladle with water is perfect for this. Cheese products are excellent, as from white, and from milk or dark chocolate. Place a dipper with water and a bowl on top of the stove, turn on a small fire and simmer until the chocolate is completely melted. You shouldn’t keep such a product in a water bath for a long time, since it can be stratified - remove the bucket from the heat and place it on a plate. Hot water will not make the chocolate harden.

Again, place in the freezer for 10 minutes to grab the cottage cheese - you need to put another layer of chocolate on top, and if the cottage cheese is warm, the chocolate will mix with it and you will get an ugly surface.
After the specified time has elapsed, remove the molds and coat them with hot chocolate on top. Last time put in the freezer for 5 minutes, and then you can get them.

Gently hooking the edges of the silicone mold with your finger, separate it from the chocolate layer in a circle - this is quite easy to do. But we must act quickly, as the chocolate layer melts at the touch of hands.
