Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Shortcrust Pastry

In a mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of flour, 100 grams of softened butter, 50 grams of sugar, 1 large egg, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

Mix all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.

Press the dough evenly into a baking dish using your hands and a glass to flatten and shape it.

Step 2

Make the Cottage Cheese Filling

In another bowl, combine 500 grams of cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 90 grams of sugar, 30 grams of potato starch, 100 grams of sour cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.

Blend the mixture with an immersion blender until it is well combined and creamy.

Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the prepared pastry in the baking dish.

Step 3

Add Berries and Bake

Gently place your choice of berries on top of the cottage cheese filling. You can use fresh or frozen berries, depending on your preference.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.

Once done, let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious cottage cheese pie with a cup of tea or coffee!

Servings

Serving Suggestions: 🎉

Slice the pie into generous pieces and serve it warm or chilled, depending on your preference! Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence! 🍦 Don’t forget to sprinkle some fresh berries on top as a final touch, creating not just a treat for your taste buds but also an eye-catching presentation! 🌟

For a fun gathering, why not pair your pie with a seasonal fruit salad or a refreshing fruit punch? This combination will elevate your dessert game and leave your guests talking long after the last bite! 🍹🍓

Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations: 🌱

To cater to gluten-free friends, simply replace regular flour with a gluten-free blend. It will yield a tasty pie without compromising on flavor!

For those seeking a vegan option, substitute the cottage cheese with a vegan cream cheese or blended silken tofu. Use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg) as a replacement for the eggs in the filling, giving you that perfect creaminess while keeping it plant-based. 🌾💚

Faq

  • What is the best way to make sure my pie crust is tender?

    Ensure your butter is soft but not melted, and don’t overwork the dough. Just mix until combined!

  • How do I know when my cottage cheese pie is fully baked?

    The pie should be set in the center and slightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

  • Can I use other fruits besides berries?

    Absolutely! Feel free to mix in sliced apples, pears, or even cherries for a different flavor twist.

  • How can I store leftover pie?

    Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to three days!

  • What techniques can I use to make my filling smoother?

    Blending with an immersion blender or food processor can create a silky-smooth texture.

  • Can I freeze leftover pie?

    Yes! Slice it first, wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap, and store it in a freezer-safe container. It should last up to three months.
