Treat your ingredients with care...

• Túró (Hungarian cottage cheese) — Make sure to use fresh and creamy túró for the best results. If túró is not available, you can substitute it with ricotta cheese.
• Dark chocolate — Choose a high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for a rich and intense flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For a variation, you can add a teaspoon of grated lemon zest to the túró filling for a hint of citrus flavor.
• If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for the coating.
• To make the Túró Rudi more festive, you can sprinkle some crushed nuts or colorful sprinkles on top of the chocolate coating before it sets.
• Store the Túró Rudi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Serve the Túró Rudi chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Serving advice

Serve the Túró Rudi as a sweet treat after a Hungarian meal or enjoy it as a snack throughout the day. It pairs well with a cup of hot coffee or tea.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Túró Rudi bars on a serving platter or a dessert plate. You can drizzle some melted chocolate on the plate for an elegant touch. Dust the bars with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
