Start by soaking the assorted dried fruits in water for about 15 to 20 minutes. This step helps wash out preservatives and hydrate the fruits slightly.
Once soaked, place the fruits on a paper towel to dry. Cover them with another towel and let them air dry.
After the fruits are dry, cut them into smaller pieces for easier incorporation into the dessert.
Dissolving the Gelatin
While the fruits are drying, dissolve 20g of fast-dissolving gelatin in 100g of water. Set this mixture aside.
Roasting the Nuts
In a pan, roast the walnuts, peanuts, and pumpkin seeds. Stir and toss them occasionally to prevent burning.
Once roasted, set the nuts aside to cool.
Combining Cottage Cheese and Yogurt
In a large bowl, combine 350g of cottage cheese and 80g of yogurt. Mix them thoroughly using a hand blender until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Incorporating Gelatin
Melt the gelatin mixture that you set aside earlier.
Take about two tablespoons of the cheese-yogurt mixture and stir it into the liquefied gelatin.
Pour this gelatin-cheese mixture back into the bowl with the remaining cheese-yogurt mixture. Blend it again using the hand blender. The gelatin will help bind everything together.
