Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, use a mixer to beat the eggs with the sugar until well combined. Gradually add the softened butter and milk. Continue to mix until the ingredients are smooth.

Next, sift in the flour mixed with the baking powder. Gently fold the mixture together using a silicone spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.

Step 2

Make the Cottage Cheese Filling

In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg, sugar, corn starch, and vanilla. Blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy mixture.

Step 3

Assemble the Pie

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease a 20-22 cm (8-9 inch) pie pan and pour the prepared dough into the pan, spreading it evenly.

Using a piping bag or a spoon, distribute the cottage cheese filling over the dough as desired. Feel free to get creative with the layout!

Step 4

Add Berries and Bake

Scatter your choice of berries over the filling in a random pattern. This not only adds flavor but also a beautiful look to your pie.

Finally, sprinkle almond flakes on top if desired. Place the pie in the oven and bake until golden and set. Keep an eye on it to ensure even baking.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This berry cottage cheese pie is perfect as a dessert or a tasty snack.

Servings

When you serve this delightful pie, consider adding a **scoop of vanilla ice cream** or a dollop of **whipped cream** on top for a creamy contrast. It makes every slice extra special! 🥄✨
You can enhance the experience by drizzling some **honey or fruit syrup** over the berries for added sweetness. 🍯🍓
For a cozy family gathering, pair this pie with a **warm cup of tea** or **a chilled glass of lemonade** to brighten your day! ☕🍋 Every crumb will bring smiles and compliments around the table!
Enjoy it fresh or serve it cold for a refreshing treat on a warm day! Each bite will take you on a nostalgic journey of flavors! ❤️

Faq

  • What if my pie filling is too runny?

    If your filling appears runny, it may be due to overmixing. Ensure you mix just until combined. If needed, you can add a bit more corn starch to thicken it up.

  • Can I make this pie ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can bake the pie a day in advance. Just store it in the fridge once it cools.

  • How can I prevent my crust from burning?

    To prevent burning, keep an eye on it, especially towards the end of baking. You can cover the edges with aluminum foil if they brown too quickly.

  • Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh?

    Yes, frozen berries work great! Just make sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture in your pie.

  • What’s the best way to serve this pie?

    For the best experience, serve it slightly warm with ice cream or whipped cream. It is a delicious combination!

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

    A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, and the top should be lightly golden. Trust your instincts!
