Prunes stuffed with cottage cheese, nuts and honey are a delicious and elegant dessert. You will have to tinker a bit, starting with dried fruits, but you will not regret the time wasted.

The filling is prepared on the basis of tender cottage cheese. Flower honey and walnuts set off plums and cottage cheese, helping to better reveal their natural taste. Semolina and eggs harmoniously fit into the overall composition, linking the ingredients into a single whole. And the amazing smell of vanilla sugar makes the dessert even more expressive and mouth-watering.

How to choose prune for dessert

In order for the dish to turn out tasty and as useful as possible, you need to choose the right prune. Buy the fruits bright black, matte (the less gloss, the better). High-quality prunes are fleshy, slightly soft and elastic: when you press on it, it does not lose shape. Ignore dried fruits, painted in brown or blue: brown tint indicates that the fruits were processed with boiling water to increase shelf life, and blue - that could not do without glycerin to give them a marketable appearance. Meanwhile, glycerin is difficult to wash off, and besides, it is harmful to health. Whenever possible, try prunes when you buy. If it is bitter, this indicates an expired shelf life or improper handling. High quality of all dessert ingredients is the key to both good taste and beneficial effects on the body.

• cottage cheese;
• pulp of fruit;
• minced meat (in savory snacks).

How to cook

A tasty dish starts with quality products, so make sure that the nuts, if not bought in the shell, are free from an unpleasant (rancid) smell, and that there are no ugly spots on dried fruits. Some more important nuances:

• Choose medium or large prunes if you plan to stuff them. For the remaining desserts, small ones are also suitable.
• Before starting work, any dried fruit needs to be treated with boiling water to get a gentle pulp and get rid of the chemicals contained on the surface.
• Be sure to wash the walnut kernels (if whole nuts are bought, you can simply chop them and use them for their intended purpose), and then dry them in a frying pan without adding fat.
