Míša Dessert – Chocolate and Curd Cheese

Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're in for a treat with this competition-winning dessert featuring a delicate chocolate sponge topped with creamy curd cheese and a silky chocolate glaze. The trickiest part is folding the egg whites into the batter and waiting for everything to chill overnight, but the layering itself is straightforward once your sponge has cooled.

1/13

Prepare the baking tray

Prepare a baking tray, greased with fat and dusted with flour or breadcrumbs.
2/13

Tray or rings

If you're making the dessert as a slab, choose a deeper tray so there's plenty of room for the curd cheese filling and chocolate. If you'll be cutting rounds out of the sponge and assembling the desserts using stainless steel rings, a shallower tray will do.
3/13

Liquid mixture

Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until foamy. Add the melted margarine and milk.

Fold in the egg whites and bake

Whisk the egg whites into stiff peaks. Carefully fold them into the batter. Mix until smooth, then pour into the tray and bake in an oven preheated to 170°C for about 20 minutes.
6/13

Let the sponge cool

Let the sponge cool completely. If you'd like lovely round desserts like mine, prepare ten stainless steel rings, about 8 cm in diameter – or more of them in a smaller size.
7/13

Cut out the rounds

Using the rings, cut rounds out of the cooled sponge and leave one in the bottom of each ring.
8/13

Curd cheese layer

Beat the curd cheese together with the sugar, cream and softened butter until smooth and fine. Spread this into the rings on top of the sponge and smooth out the surface.

A few chocolate glaze options

There are several variations to choose from – a crunchy chocolate layer, a more liquid chocolate topping, or an extra-chocolatey, thicker version.
10/13

Runnier version

If you'd like the chocolate a bit runnier, which I'd actually recommend, use 200 ml of cream and 100 g of chocolate.
11/13

Extra chocolatey version

Bring the cream to the boil, take it off the heat and add the broken-up chocolate. Let it sit for about five minutes without stirring. Then take a whisk and gently stir until you get a smooth, glossy chocolate mixture. Pour this over the prepared desserts.
12/13

Chill and remove the rings

Chill for several hours, ideally overnight, in the fridge. Before serving, carefully run a knife around the inside of each ring to loosen the dessert, then remove the ring.

Tip: use cling film

If you like, you can line the mould with cling film or semifreddo film before layering the dessert. This makes it much easier to lift the dessert out afterwards.

About this recipe

A friend of mine recently asked me for my recipe for míša dessert – the amazing one I actually won a cooking competition with. So I told her to look under 'goddesses'. She said she couldn't find it. So I started clicking around and… it really wasn't here. My apologies – and to make up for it, let me share with you the most polished version there is.
