Step 2
Place the cottage cheese in a deep container. Add butter, vanilla sugar, and regular sugar. You can substitute the sugar with powdered sugar to make the candies more delicate in taste. If you're worried about feeling sugar granules, don't be—it's unnecessary. The coconut flakes will be the most prominent flavor in the candies! Add half of the coconut flakes to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
