Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cheese Filling

In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, and egg. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will create a delightful filling for your cake.

Step 2

Make the Dough

Begin by melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved.

Next, add the eggs to the mixture and whisk lightly until combined. Gradually incorporate the sifted dry ingredients: flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Divide and Chill the Dough

Split the dough into two equal portions. Roll out one half onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Wrap the other half in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 1.5 hours.

Step 4

Assemble the Cake

Take the rolled-out dough and spread the prepared cheese filling evenly over the surface. Then spread the jam over the cheese filling.

Once the frozen dough is ready, grate it over the jam layer, creating a nice topping.

Step 5

Bake the Cake

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the assembled cake into the oven and bake for about 40 minutes until it is golden brown.

Step 6

Cool and Serve

After baking, let the cake cool down completely before slicing. Serve with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat!

Servings

When it comes to serving this scrumptious dessert, the possibilities are endless! 💖 Slice it up and serve it warm or chilled, paired with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. You can even top it off with fresh berries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation that will surely impress your guests. 🍓

For a cozy gathering, serve warm slices alongside a steaming cup of coffee or tea. ☕️ Imagine the aromas wafting through your home! Or, if you want to make it extra special, create a fun dessert platter with assorted treats adding a piece of this delightful cheesecake for a sweet finishing touch.

No matter how you choose to serve it, this cheery treat is destined to make any occasion feel special!

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: If you're looking for a gluten-free version, substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Just ensure that it includes xanthan gum to achieve that perfect texture! 🌾

Vegan Option: For a vegan version, replace the cottage cheese with a blend of silken tofu and almond milk, and use flax eggs instead of regular eggs. You won’t miss the dairy with these creamy substitutes! 🌱

Faq

  • Can I use a different type of cheese?

    Absolutely! While cottage cheese is traditional, you can experiment with ricotta or cream cheese for a creamier filling!

  • What if my dough is too sticky?

    Simply sprinkle a little flour on your hands and the work surface while kneading to make it more manageable.

  • How can I make sure my cheesecake doesn’t crack?

    Bake it slowly and evenly to avoid sudden temperature changes. And try not to open the oven door often!

  • Can I add flavors to the cheesecake filling?

    Of course! Vanilla extract, lemon zest, or even cocoa powder can add a delicious twist to the filling.

  • How do I know when the cake is done baking?

    The cake should be golden brown on top and slightly firm to the touch. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

  • Can I freeze the leftover cheesecake?

    Yes, you can! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month. Just thaw it in the fridge before serving!
