Delicious baked goods for the whole family. There is a similar recipe for a pie with cottage‑cheese filling and meringue, only without berries. But currants fit nicely into the filling, adding a special flavor and juiciness to the pastry. I am delighted to share with you the recipe for making a cottage‑cheese pie with currants and meringue. It can be served with tea or coffee.
