Pineapple and cottage cheese pie

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Preparing the STREUSEL crumbs. For the whole recipe, the products must be at room temperature.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift flour, mix with sugar and vanilla sugar. Cut the soft butter into cubes and mix with flour.

3. Step 3:

   

   Rub into crumbs with your fingers.

4. Step 4:

   

   Preparing the CURD layer. Punch the cottage cheese with a blender or rub it through a sieve.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add sugar to the soft butter, beat with a mixer for 3-4 minutes. Then, continuing to beat, add the yolks. Mix cottage cheese to the resulting mass, do not stir for a long time, just until smooth. Add the starch last and mix well.

6. Step 6:

   

   The finished curd mass will be airy, crumbly and plastic at the same time.

7. Step 7:

   

   Prepare THE DOUGH. As quickly as possible, otherwise the finished product may become stiff and less crumbly.

9. Step 8:

   

   Separately sift the flour with starch and baking powder. Beat the soft butter, salt and sugar with a mixer for 5-6 minutes at low speed. Enter the eggs one by one, after each beat well, until the sugar dissolves, this is a couple of minutes. Then, in turn, add a mixture of dry ingredients and sour cream to the whipped mass. / It is necessary to start and finish with dry ingredients /.

10. Step 9:

    

    The finished dough is light, plastic. The consistency is not liquid, but thicker than condensed milk and sticky.

11. Step 10:

    

    Immediately collect the pie. Cover the bottom of the mold with parchment and grease with butter. /My form is 20 x 31 cm, you can take a little more, but not less/. Lay out the first layer of dough and smooth it out, you can not be very smooth, then it will be even more beautiful in the section.

12. Step 11:

    

    The second layer is cottage cheese, also smooth.

13. Step 12:

    

    We put pineapples on the cottage cheese. I had frozen ones, they must be drained of juice. You can take fresh ones. On top is a streusel crumb.

14. Step 13:

    

    Immediately put in a preheated oven to 180 degrees, for about 1h 10min or a little more, until blush. If the filling is very wet, the time may be longer, but then I turn off the oven and the pie costs another 10-15 minutes. Here you just need to know your oven. Let the finished cake cool in the mold, only then you can get it, otherwise it is very fragile and brittle.

15. Step 14:

    

    It is desirable to cut only cooled, and the taste will be better. The taste is revealed more fully the next day.
