Russian high-density cheesecake 'Shirok' tasting review with rich cheese wrapped in chocolate

There are various types of

cheesecake such as baked cheesecake , rare cheesecake , and souffle cheesecake , but in Russia, the traditional sweet ' Shirok ', which is made by coating fresh cottage cheese with chocolate, is eaten on a daily basis. I was wondering if it was like cheesecake or a completely different dessert, so I actually bought a siroke and tried it.

This is the 'Shirok' package. This time, I bought milk chocolate (front), dark chocolate (left), and white chocolate (right). Since it is stored frozen, it must be thawed at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes before eating.

The package is small enough to fit in a woman's hand.

Let's start with milk chocolate.

The raw material name is cottage cheese, followed by sugar, milk chocolate, and butter. The milk fat content is 26% and the calories are 210 kcal per 50 g.

Peel off from the perforations and perforations ...

I took out the bag inside. Gold and fashionable feeling.

I also took out Shirok from the inside.

The size is about 7 cm in total length.

When I ate it immediately, the cool cheese and chocolate melted with the heat in my mouth. Cheese is not a quirky type like processed cheese, but a refreshing sweetness and sourness like yogurt. It has a thick and sticky texture, but it has a flavor like lactic acid bacteria, so it is surprisingly smooth, and although it is not used, it has a scent like Western liquor. It has a unique standing position in cheesecake, like a refreshingly concentrated rare cheesecake, and is exquisite.

I made the first bite too big, but it's so rich that I want to eat it. It's rich, but it's easy to eat, and it's a terrifying finish, so I ate it with coffee in no time.

Next, I will eat dark chocolate.

Basically, the one used is the same as milk chocolate. The milk fat content is also 26%, and the calories are 205 kcal per 50 g.

When I opened it, it was wrapped in darker chocolate.

Dark chocolate is a slightly bitter type. Milk chocolate was well-balanced with the acidity of cottage cheese and the sweetness of chocolate, but dark chocolate is a little more mature and looks good with alcohol.

It looks like a pino, but the chocolate coating is thick and crispy.

The last is white chocolate.

This is also the same as the raw material except that the chocolate is white chocolate. The milk fat content is 26% and the calories are 210 kcal per 50 g.

I opened it.

White chocolate has the strongest sweetness of the three, and I feel like eating it little by little with coffee. Every siroke has an 'unlikely' finish that you should try once if you like cheesecake, and it looks great with alcohol, tea or coffee. The size is also small, so it was perfect for dessert after meals.
