🔥 INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prep cottage cheese
- Mash or blend cottage cheese until VERY smooth
(traditional Túró Rudi has ultra smooth texture)
Optional: Push through a fine sieve for extra smoothness.
2. Mix filling
To the cottage cheese add:
- powdered sugar
- vanilla
- lemon zest
- butter
If mixture is too soft, add:
- 1–2 tbsp semolina or milk powder
Mix until creamy and spreadable.
Taste and adjust sweetness.
3. Shape bars
- Line a tray with parchment
- With slightly damp hands, form small bars or logs
(classic size: like mini candy bars)
Freeze 30–45 minutes to firm.
4. Prepare chocolate coating
Melt chocolate + coconut oil in microwave or double boiler
Stir until silky and smooth.
5. Dip
- Remove bars from freezer
- Dip into melted chocolate using fork
- Let excess drip off
- Place on parchment
If chocolate thickens, warm again.
6. Chill
Refrigerate 1–2 hours until set.
🤤 RESULT:
- Tangy-sweet creamy filling
- Smooth chocolate shell
- Soft bite, not hard
- Incredibly close to the original Túró Rudi!
