Cottage Cheese Cake
Description
Delicious pastry for the whole family. 1. Preparing the crust: Mix the flour with salt, sugar, and butter. Add 1 egg yolk. Knead the dough and leave it in the refrigerator for half an hour. Dust the work surface with flour. Roll out 2 layers about 26 centimeters in diameter. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Bake until golden brown. 2. Preparing the cottage cheese filling: Soak the gelatin in cold water for about 15 minutes. Mix and bring to a boil the milk, salt, sugar, egg yolks, and the zest of 1 lemon (stirring constantly). Remove from heat. Drain all excess liquid from the gelatin. Place the dish with gelatin in a pot of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Pour the prepared gelatin into the milk mixture and let it cool. 3. Whip the cream into foam. Rub the cottage cheese through a sieve. Pour the thick gelatin mixture into the cottage cheese and mix. Add the whipped cream and berries (any, at your discretion), and mix again. Place the first crust into the mold. 4. Spread the cottage cheese mixture over the base crust, then level the layer and cover with the second crust. Gently press the top crust toward the base one. Place the cake in the refrigerator to set. Remove the cake from the mold and sprinkle powdered sugar on top. You can pour chocolate glaze over it. The pastry is ready. Serve to the table.
