The doctor told about a useful "cap" for Easter cake

Cottage cheese frosting, fruit puree or dark chocolate can be a healthier alternative to the traditional sugar "cap" on the Easter cake. This was reported in the press service of the Ministry of Health of the Moscow region on Wednesday, April 8.

Yulia Slasten, a gastroenterologist at Krasnogorsk Clinical Hospital, explained that the classic glaze is almost pure sugar, which quickly increases blood glucose levels.

"But there are more interesting options: protein glaze with less sugar or, for example, a curd base — it adds protein and makes the dessert a little more balanced. You can also add a little lemon juice or citrus puree to the white glaze, so it will not only stick better on the cake, but also acquire a light shimmering shade, almost like mother—of-pearl," the Moscow city News agency quotes the doctor.

According to the expert, if you want something unusual, you can try to make a glaze from cottage cheese or yogurt, adding a little honey or stevia to it. 360.ru .

"Fruit glaze will be an equally useful option. To do this, grind the berries in a blender to a puree. You can add a little gelatin to thicken it. This glaze will be rich in vitamins and antioxidants," said the gastroenterologist.

In addition, you can use high-quality chocolate to decorate the cake, as well as nuts, berries or pieces of fruit. Life.Ru .
