Cottage Cheese Rings
Baking and Desserts • Russian
Description
Rings made from choux pastry filled with cottage cheese cream — a Russian twist on the classic French éclair, which is usually prepared with cream and is famous as the dessert 'Paris-Brest'. However, with cottage cheese, it somehow tastes better and feels more familiar.

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the milk and water. Add the butter, 5 grams of salt, and 10 grams of sugar.
Step 3
Place over heat and bring to a boil. As soon as the mixture starts boiling, add the flour and begin to stir vigorously with a wooden spatula, keeping the saucepan on the heat for another 5 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a mixer and gradually incorporate the room temperature eggs one at a time. The result should be a smooth batter that flows slowly off the spatula.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a piping bag.
Step 6
Pipe the rings onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or, even better, a perforated baking mat.
Step 7
Place in the oven preheated to 355°F for 20–30 minutes.
Step 8
Whip the cold cottage cheese and cream with powdered sugar and a pinch of salt until creamy.
Step 9
Transfer it to a pastry bag.
Step 10
Allow the finished rings to cool, then fill them with the cheese filling. To do this, make four to five holes in the bottom of each ring and pipe the cheese cream into them.
Step 11
Serve.
