Pie with gooseberries and cottage cheese
Description
The recipe will not take much time. The pie turns out moderately sweet, with a pleasant tartness from the gooseberries. Any variety of gooseberry will work; cottage cheese is best if soft, but if yours is grainy, press it through a sieve or purée it in a blender. If you like, you can dust the cooled pie with powdered sugar or drizzle it with sugar icing.
