Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the ingredients. To prepare delicious cheesecakes with prunes, we will need: Cottage cheese (fat content of at least 5%), prunes, large egg, semolina, sugar, vanilla sugar with natural vanilla, baking powder and salt.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour boiling water over the prunes and leave for 8-10 minutes. Then drain the water. If the prunes have pits, remove them.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mash the cottage cheese with a fork or rub through a sieve.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt to the cottage cheese. Mix everything thoroughly.

   In a separate container, mix semolina and baking powder.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour semolina with baking powder into the curd mass and mix thoroughly.

   Add chopped prunes to the curd mass.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix everything well.

10. STEP 10

    

    Breading. For breading you will need flour. I used wheat, but rice is better. It will make the cheesecakes softer.

11. STEP 11

    

    Form small cheesecakes from the resulting mass and roll them in flour.

12. STEP 12

    

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the cheesecakes over high heat on both sides until golden brown. It is better to turn the cheesecakes over with two spatulas or a spatula and a fork, since the consistency of the dough is quite soft. Therefore, in order for the cheesecakes to retain their even round shape, it is better to turn them over, holding them with a second device.

13. STEP 13

    

    Then transfer the cheesecakes to a baking sheet lined with parchment and cook in an oven preheated to 200°C for about 6 minutes.

14. STEP 14

    

    Transfer the finished cheesecakes to a plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. You can serve with condensed milk, honey, jam, various sweet sauces or just sour cream. Bon appetit!
