Cottage cheese pie with berries

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a cottage cheese pie with berries? Prepare the products. Butter, sour cream and cottage cheese choose high-quality, natural, without vegetable fats. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft. Sift the flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen — then the dough will turn out more magnificent. The fat content of cottage cheese and sour cream does not matter much. But the cottage cheese should be soft, without grains. Take corn starch.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare the dough first. How to make dough? Put the soft butter, sugar and egg in a bowl. Mix them with a wooden spatula.

3. Step 3:

   

   Then gradually add flour and knead the dough. At first it is convenient to stir with the same wooden spatula, and then you can continue with your hands. Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. As soon as the dough stops sticking to your hands, do not add flour anymore.

4. Step 4:

   

   The finished dough turns out soft and not sticky to the hands.

5. Step 5:

   

   A 22-24 cm split mold is suitable for the pie. Cover the bottom with cooking paper and clamp it with a ring. Spread the finished dough on the bottom of the mold, making the sides on the sides. It is convenient to do this by cutting thin pieces from the dough and laying out the bottom and sides with them.

7. Step 6:

   

   Prepare the filling. How to make the filling? Combine the eggs with sugar. Shake them a little with a whisk.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then add cottage cheese and sour cream. Add starch. Mix all the ingredients. If you still have a coarse cottage cheese, then punch the filling with a blender, so it will turn out more homogeneous and tender.

9. Step 8:

   

   Pour the finished filling into the mold on the prepared dough. Sprinkle the berries over the entire surface. I use fresh raspberries and black currants. In winter, frozen berries can be used for this pie. Put the pie in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 40-50 minutes. Be guided by your oven. The dough should be gilded, and the filling should become stable.

    Cool the finished cake a little in the mold. Then release from it.

    Cut the pie into portions and help yourself. Bon appetit!
