Ingredients for Farmer's Cheese Dessert with Fruit Jelly
- 150 g tvorog (a fresh, soft farmer's cheese) or ricotta

How to Make Farmer's Cheese Dessert with Fruit Jelly
Pouring the fruit jelly mix with agar-agar and gelatin into a bowl.
Placing tvorog and powdered sugar into a tall mixer cup.
Separately, whipping chilled heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Boil the water. Pour the fruit jelly mix with agar-agar and gelatin into a bowl. Pour the boiling water over the jelly and stir. This recipe uses a pear and peach concentrate, but feel free to use any fruit flavor you like. Stir the ingredients until completely dissolved, then leave to cool completely at room temperature.
In a tall mixer cup, combine the tvorog and powdered sugar. Whisk the ingredients until creamy. If your tvorog is lumpy, blend it with an immersion blender or press it through a sieve. Ricotta also works well for this recipe.
In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. It’s important not to overwhip the cream. Start whipping on low speed, gradually increasing it. Stop as soon as the whisk leaves trails that hold their shape. If you’re not confident with your mixer, you can add a cream stabilizer to help the cream fluff up well.
Adding whipped cream in portions to the whipped tvorog cream.
Fold the whipped cream into the whipped tvorog cream in small portions. Gently mix the ingredients with a silicone spatula. The result will be a light cream.
Next, gradually add the cooled jelly.
The finished mousse is delicate and light.
Spoon the tvorog jelly into cups or dessert bowls.
Next, gradually add the cooled jelly, also in small portions, and mix.

If it’s not sweet enough, it’s not too late to fix it. Whip another portion of cream with powdered sugar and fold it into the main mixture.
Spoon the tvorog jelly into cups or dessert bowls. You can make portions ranging from 150 to 220 g per dessert, depending on your guests’ appetites.
