Cooking technology
To bake a delicious dessert, it is advisable to choose a soft fatty cottage cheese. Dry friable product is previously diluted in a small amount of milk and thoroughly triturated to a pasty state.

The finished dessert is taken out of the oven, cooled and served with tea. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar or pour it with chocolate icing.
