5 Simple Snacks Recipes

Chocolate Mascarpone

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Servings: 4–6

Ingredients:

250ml fondant cream (well chilled)
250 g Mascarpone cheese
200 g Dark chocolate
4 tbsp powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Applying cream, we dissolve chocolate in a water bath, i.e., place the chocolate in a glass bowl. Set the bowl on a pot with boiling water—so that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.

2. Leave the melted chocolate to cool (until it is not hot, only slightly warm). Whip cream. Mix mascarpone cheese with a mixer with powdered sugar. Without stopping the mixer, add chocolate to the cheese (gently pour in a small stream). Mix until smooth.

3. Add whipped cream to the chocolate mass. Then mix manually or with a mixer at low speed until we get a uniform, creamy, thick consistency.

4. Apply the cream to the cup using the sleeve to decorate the cakes to get a nice-looking dessert. We store the ready cream in the fridge.

Almond Ricotta Spread

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Servings: 5

Ingredients:

200 gr. raw and unsalted almonds
100 gr. raw and unsalted cashews
2 tbsp lemon juice
Sea salt at ease
1 tbsp of yeast in “Titan”
Black pepper to taste
Fresh herbs to taste (rosemary, parsley, dill, sage, thyme, coriander)

Directions:

1. Soak the nuts.

2. The next day, strain the nuts and process them with lemon juice, salt, flaked yeast (or very fine-grated “Viol life” cheese), and pepper until a thick cream is formed.

3. Turn the processor on and off if necessary, and stir well so that everything is well integrated.

4. Some water can be added, but not in excess, to prevent the dip from becoming too liquid. It should have the consistency of the traditional “pillory.”

5. Rectify the salt and pepper again and add fresh herbs on top.
