Interesting recipe:
1. Break the chocolate into small pieces. Put it in a bowl. Set it over a water bath.
2. Simmer over a low flame until the chocolate melts. Remove it from the heat along with the water bath (so the chocolate doesn't set too quickly).
3. Apply a thick layer of chocolate to the walls of silicone cupcake molds.
4. Put the molds in the freezer for 10 minutes.
5. Blend the cottage cheese with a mixer along with condensed milk and a little softened butter.
6. If you like, add raisins, candied fruit, dried apricots, or berries.
7. Fill the set chocolate molds with the sweet curd mixture.
8. Smooth the surface.
9. Place in the freezer for another ten minutes or so.
10. After the time is up, take out the chilled piece and cover it completely with the remaining chocolate.
11. Return it to the freezer until the chocolate sets completely.
12. Gently prying up the edges of the silicone mold, work it away from the chocolate layer all around and lift it off the curd bar.
