Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

• 2 packs of "Selga" biscuits
• 0.5 kg strawberries (whole or pureed)
• 400 g cottage cheese
• 200 g sweet cream (or more to taste)

Spices/Sauces:

• 2/3 cup sugar (used for berries and cream mixture)

Preparation Time

Total Time: 5 hours (including chill time)

Step-by-Step Instruction

1. Prepare the Base: Begin by deciding on your biscuit structure. You can either crumble the "Selga" biscuits, crush them into finer bits, or simply layer them whole. The choice depends on your desired texture and presentation.
2. Strawberry Layer: If using whole strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the stems. If you prefer a smoother layer, consider pureeing the strawberries with some sugar for added sweetness.
3. Sweeten the Berries: Combine the strawberries with up to 1/3 cup of sugar, adjusting based on your sweetness preference. If using whole berries, you can cut them into slices before adding the sugar.
4. Layer the Biscuits: Spread a layer of biscuits at the bottom of your serving dish. Pour the strawberry mixture over the biscuits, ensuring they are well-covered.
5. Cottage Cheese Preparation: Blend the cottage cheese with a portion of the remaining sugar until smooth. Taste as you blend, adding sugar gradually to achieve your preferred sweetness.
6. Whip the Cream: Whip the sweet cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cottage cheese mixture, creating a light and fluffy cream layer.
7. Layer the Cream: Spoon the cottage cheese mixture over the strawberries, smoothing it out to cover the entire layer evenly.
8. Repeat Layers: Continue layering: start with another layer of biscuits, followed by strawberries, cottage cheese mixture, and whipped cream until you run out or reach the top of your dish.
9. Refrigerate: Allow the dessert to sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours. This chill time lets the flavors meld together beautifully.
10. Decorate: Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries for added color and freshness.
11. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, slice and serve the Strawberry Biscuit Delight. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors in every bite!
