It\u2019s made with a rich curd-cheese cream where vanilla, lemon and rum aromas come together, plus fresh summer berries that add natural sweetness. Because it\u2019s layered, it\u2019s a real feast for the eyes\u2014and once topped with cooked strawberry juice, it becomes the perfect treat for hot days when you don\u2019t feel like turning on the oven.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ingredients for a summer curd-cheese dessert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>500 g unstrained curd cheese<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 fresh raw egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 to 3 tbsp sour cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 dl liquid whipping cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sugar (to taste)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 packets vanilla sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>grated lemon zest (or lemon sugar)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp rum sugar or a few drops of rum flavouring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>300 g fresh strawberries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>150 g fresh blueberries (or any amount you like)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp gelling agent (for the strawberry topping)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">1 In a large bowl, make the cream. Mix the curd cheese, raw egg, sour cream and whipping cream. Add sugar, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, grated lemon zest and rum sugar (or flavouring). Mix well so the flavours come together.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">2 Slice most of the fresh strawberries into another bowl. Sprinkle with the second packet of vanilla sugar and mix well. Leave for a while so the strawberries release their natural juices.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">3 Make the strawberry topping. Put a small portion of the strawberries in a small saucepan, simmer briefly, and add the gelling agent. You\u2019ll get a lovely, slightly thick strawberry sauce that perfectly complements the dessert.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">4 Prepare glasses or a larger glass dish. Start layering: put a layer of curd-cheese cream on the bottom, add a layer of macerated strawberries, then a layer of fresh blueberries. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">5 Repeat until you\u2019ve used up all the ingredients (curd cheese, strawberries, blueberries).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">6 Finish by pouring the prepared strawberry sauce (with gelling agent) over the dessert. Refrigerate until well chilled and set, then serve. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for the perfect summer curd-cheese dessert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Use truly fresh, trusted farm eggs, as the recipe calls for a raw egg in the cream.<br\/>\u2022 You can mash the curd cheese with a fork beforehand, or use smooth curd cheese if you want a silkier texture\u2014though the slightly grainy texture of homemade curd cheese is often the best choice.<br\/>\u2022 Adjust the sugar to the fruit\u2019s acidity\u2014if the strawberries are very sweet, you can use a bit less in the cream.<br\/>\u2022 The dessert is quite flexible; instead of blueberries, you can also use raspberries, blackberries or peaches.<br\/>\u2022 Always make the dessert at least a few hours before serving so it chills well and the flavours meld.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is this dessert suitable for people with coeliac disease?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, it\u2019s completely gluten-free, as it\u2019s based on curd cheese and fruit, with no added biscuits or flour. Still, check the labels on add-ins (such as vanilla sugar and the gelling agent). <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I leave out the raw egg?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The raw egg gives the cream its authentic richness and a specific texture reminiscent of our grandmothers\u2019 homemade recipes. If you don\u2019t eat raw eggs, you can leave it out, but the curd-cheese mixture will be a bit less creamy and set. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long can I store it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the dessert contains fresh curd cheese, a raw egg and fresh fruit, it\u2019s best eaten within 24 hours. Keep it refrigerated at all times. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer curd-cheese dessert with strawberries and blueberries \u2013 a refreshing treat in a glass is an easy, completely gluten-free dessert that wins you over with its juiciness.
