- 1/2 pumpkin (690 g)
- 2 carrots (380 g)
- 20 g instant gelatin
- 10 g instant gelatin
- 100 ml + 50 ml water
- 30 g poppy seeds

- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 300 g cottage cheese
- 100 g natural yogurt or sour cream
- 1.5 tablespoons of honey
- 5 g vanillin
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Bake the Vegetables
First, **preheat your oven** to 180°C (360°F). Cut the pumpkin and carrots into pieces and bake them for about 50 minutes. This softens the vegetables and enhances their natural sweetness.
2. Prepare the Gelatin
In a small bowl, mix 20 g of **gelatin** with 100 ml of water and 10 g of gelatin with 50 ml of water. Let them bloom while you continue with the recipe.
3. Soak the Poppy Seeds
Pour boiling water over 30 g of **poppy seeds** and let them sit for a few minutes to soften.
4. Blend the Pumpkin and Carrots
Once your pumpkin and carrots are cooked, blend them together with a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of honey, **orange peel**, and freshly squeezed orange juice (80 ml) until the mixture is smooth.
5. Combine Dairy Ingredients
In another bowl, blend 300 g of **cottage cheese** with 100 g of natural yogurt (or sour cream) and 1.5 tablespoons of honey. Make sure it’s well-mixed for a creamy texture.
6. Incorporate the Gelatin
Microwave the **bloomed gelatin** for about 25 seconds, ensuring it doesn’t boil. Add 15 g to the pumpkin-carrot mixture and 10 g to the cottage cheese mixture, blending each thoroughly.
7. Layer the Dessert
Prepare a 16 cm round form. Alternate layers by adding three tablespoons of each mixture. Finish with the remaining pumpkin-carrot mixture on top. Cover it with plastic wrap.
8. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for 4-5 hours, or ideally overnight, to set. Once ready, you have a delightful treat waiting for you!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overcooking the vegetables: Make sure they’re tender but not mushy.
- Not letting the gelatin bloom properly: This can lead to a lumpy texture.
- Skipping the refrigeration: Don’t rush this step; it’s key for achieving the right consistency.
