Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Next, add the cold butter that has been grated into small pieces.

Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, incorporate the egg and cold water quickly. Mix just until everything is combined into a ball; do not knead the dough.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 30-60 minutes.

Step 2

Make the Filling

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Then, add the sour cream and cottage cheese.

Mix until smooth and creamy, then stir in the cornstarch until well combined.

Step 3

Assemble the Pie

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface until it is about 5 millimeters thick.

Gently transfer the rolled dough to a pie dish, trimming any excess around the edges. Spread the jam evenly over the bottom of the crust.

Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the pie crust and spread it out evenly. Top with the fresh berries, and if desired, drizzle some more jam on top.

Step 4

Bake the Pie

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your delicious berry cottage cheese pie!”

Servings

When it comes to serving this delightful Berry Cheesecake Pie, think **outside the box**! Here are some fun ideas to elevate your dessert experience:

💖 **A Scoop of Ice Cream:** Pair each slice with a scoop of vanilla or berry ice cream for a creamy contrast. This melt-in-your-mouth combination is simply blissful!

🌿 **Fresh Mint Leaves:** Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh mint to add a pop of color and a refreshing taste. Not only does it look amazing, but it enhances the flavor as well!

🍰 **Drizzle Some Sauce:** Consider drizzling your favorite berry sauce over each slice before serving. This adds an extra layer of sweet-tart flavor that enhances the whole experience.

📅 **Perfect for Every Occasion:** Whether it's a summer picnic, a birthday party, or just a cozy family dinner, this pie suits any gathering. You can even serve it for brunch with coffee; it's sure to be a hit!

Faq

  • What if my dough is too crumbly?

    If your dough seems too dry, add a tiny bit more cold water, one teaspoon at a time, until it just comes together. Remember, you want it crumbly, not wet!

  • Can I use frozen berries?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in your filling.

  • How do I know when my pie is done baking?

    The top will be a light golden brown and the filling will be set but still slightly jiggly in the center. A toothpick inserted into the filling should come out mostly clean.

  • Can the pie be made ahead of time?

    Yes, this pie can be made a day in advance! Just store it in the refrigerator covered loosely with plastic wrap.

  • What’s the best way to slice the pie without messing it up?

    Use a hot knife! Dip it in hot water, then wipe it dry before cutting. This will help make clean slices.

  • Can I switch up the fillings?

    Of course! Feel free to experiment with other fruits like cherries or peaches, or even add chocolate chips for a twist!
