Looks like Italy, tastes like Estonia – curd cheese misu

Travelling is great, you can try some of the most amazing dishes and tastes of our time. But it is also wonderful to get inspiration. Sometimes it is about how to use an ingridient, sometimes on how beautiful a dish can be. Like this time, when I am using good estonian curd cheese and dark chocolate, and serve it as it was Tiramisu. But it´s not! You need (for 6 servings):

500 gr curd cheese
100 ml cream (around 30% of fat)
6 tbs sugar
20 savoiardi biscuits
Grated dark chocolate

For the cherry sauce:
150 ml water
20 frozen cherries
2 tbs farine sugar
1 cinnamon bark
Some drops of lemon juice

Whip the cream slightly with sugar. Mix in the curd cheese.Add cherries, cinnamon and lemon juice to water and bring them to boil. Add sugar. Mix and let it simmer for a few minutes, until the liquid has absorbed the cherry taste. Remove the cherries.
Put half of the crd cheese cream to the bottom of dessert glass. Dip the cookies to the cherry sauce and put them atop of the curd cheese cream. Add the rest of the cream. Let it cool for a few hours. Before serving, cover the dessert with grated dark chocolate. Garnish with cherries and enjoy.

Kodumaine kohupiima tiramisu

500 gr kohupiima
100 ml vahukoort
6 spl suhkrut
20 savoiardi küpsist
riivitud tumedat šokolaadi

Kirsikastmeks:
150 ml vett
20 külmutatud kirssi
2 sl fariinsuhkrut
1 kaneelikoor
veidi sidrunist pigistatud mahla

Löö vahukoor suhkruga kergelt vahule ja sega kohupiimaga kokku ühtlaseks kreemiks. Pane kirsid vette, lisa kaneelikoor ja sidrunimahl, aja keema. Lisa suhkur. Sega ja lase madalal tulel mõned minutid keeda, kuni vedelik on tugeva kirsimaitsega. Tõsta kirsid välja. Pane 1/2 kreemist vormi(de) põhja, lao peale kirsikastmesse kastetud küpsised. Lao kastmest välja võetud kirsid küpsistele ja kata ülejäänud kreemiga. Lase külmkapis mõne tunni seista ning puista üle riivitud šokolaadiga.
