Apricot cheesecake
Description
Delicious pastry for the whole family. For the dough, beat 75g of room-temperature butter with sugar until fluffy, then add egg and zest. Beat again. Mix and sift flour with baking powder over the previously prepared mixture, then add ground almonds. Mix everything together and chill the dough in the refrigerator. Grease the baking pan and sprinkle the edges with flaked almonds. Place 2/3 of the dough into the pan. For the filling, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the butter with sugar and egg yolks, then add cottage cheese, lemon juice, pudding powder, and rum. Beat the egg whites separately, then fold them into the cheese mixture. Spread the filling over the dough. Place apricots on top, then chop the remaining dough and sprinkle it over the pie. Bake, then dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
