Apple Cinnamon Curd Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
The curd's slightly grainy texture and tang provide a great base for this light cake. Unlike rich mascarpone, cottage/farmer's cheese is protein-rich and rustic. The gelatin-stabilized cream holds the grated apple fibers well, creating a dessert that has bite but isn't heavy.

Instructions

1 ✓

Grate apples, squeeze dry, and mix with lemon juice and cinnamon.

Tip: Cinnamon adds flavor and speckles to the cream.
2 ✓

Press the cheese through a sieve or blend until creamy with the sugar.

Tip: Store-bought farmer's cheese is lumpy; homogenizing is key for a silky cream.
3 ✓

Bloom gelatin in water, heat gently to melt (don't boil), temper with a spoon of cream, then mix into the cheese. Fold in apples and whipped heavy cream.

Tip: Tempering prevents 'gummy ropes' from forming when warm gelatin hits cold cheese.
4 ✓

Pour over sponge base and chill 4 hours.

Tip: The sponge absorbs moisture from the cream, becoming soft.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the bottom soggy?
Curd and apples release water. Drain the cheese well and squeeze the apples before using.
