Simple cottage cheese cream is a delicate treat of European cuisine, known for its airy and silky taste. This cream combines the velvety texture of butter, the sweet softness of condensed milk, and a refined vanilla note highlighted by a light aroma of cognac. Historically, such creams were used as fillings for pies, cakes, and desserts but can also be served on their own—with fruits or cookies. Its thick consistency makes it ideal for decorating baked goods as well as for enjoying as a delicate dessert on its own.
