Estonia

ESTONIA: Kohuke 

Suggested by my dear friend Joosep. Looked all over Albuturkey, but couldn’t find quark, so substituted for cream cheese, which is similar in taste. Very pretty.

INGREDIENTS:  

2 small tubs of quark
200 gram of chocolate
Sugar (or sweetener)
Cherries (punnet)
Mint leaves

DIRECTIONS:

First of all take a small pan, half fill it with water place it on a high heat to heat up. Then pop on a small bowl, turn down the heat so it doesn’t boil over. Break up the chocolate leave it in the bowl.

Whilst the chocolate is slowly melting, put the quark into a tea towel or napkin. You need to wring out the liquid from the quark, it needs to be very dry. You may need to do this twice whilst half way through making the little balls.

Next take small pieces of the quark and roll them into small balls. Then roll them into the sugar and then into the chocolate with a fork. Place them on to some non-stick baking paper. Push in tooth picks.

When they are all rolled place them into the fridge to set. Whilst they are setting, cut the cherries in half taking out the stone.

They take about 15 minutes to set, depending on the temperature of the fridge. Take them out add the cherries and mint.
