Weigh ricotta, honey, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsalted butter, vanilla extract. Curd snack is cooked in Estonia as its own dish. Sweeten fresh cheese, chill it, and coat it in a little cocoa butter. Amounts are scaled for four from foods this library can count, so the nutrition panel comes from those ingredients.

If it goes wrong

Voiceover. Curd snack looks done at the edge and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue, not the color. Check the thickest piece and give it a few more minutes. Curd snack turned out salty, dry, or watery. Weigh the salt and the liquid next time. Keep the heat at the temperature in the method, and stop when the doneness cue appears.
