The cake with the mysterious name cheesecake is gaining more and more popularity in Russia. The reason for this could be the foreign name of the treat. In fact, this cake is nothing extraordinary, you can cook a cheesecake at home, without putting much effort into it.
Many patriotic cooks are dissatisfied with the fact that instead of our native pies with cabbage we are being imposed with "foreign cooking." But, firstly, cooking, like any kind of creativity, has no enduring boundaries. And secondly, analogues of cheesecake exist in Russian cuisine too. "Cheese" in English is nothing but "cheese." There is an opinion that the first cheesecakes appeared in Ancient Greece, and the English name is simply because English has become an international language. A cheesecake is just a cheese or cottage cheese pie, which was prepared by the grandmothers of our grandmothers. In a word, no innovations, and you can find a cheesecake recipe at home in your mom’s notebook.
Cooking cheesecake at home is not much different from the factory. This is a fairly unpretentious dish. In addition, this is a very useful treat. Cheese and cottage cheese used in it are rich in calcium.
A cheesecake recipe at home may look like this:
First you need to cook three cakes. Take 400 g of dried bread, 70 g of butter, 300 g of sugar. Drying must be ground in a food processor or rolling pin, then add sugar and butter there and mix. The resulting mixture is laid out in a mold. Do not forget to lay in the form of special baking paper, otherwise the cheesecake will stick, and may burn. Many people ask, why make dough from sushi? Just because drying is already baked pastry. And the cottage cheese or cheese included in the pie, do not like a long stay in the oven. The dough may simply not bake if you get the cake out of the oven early. The option presented here is just one cheesecake recipe at home. And there are more than a dozen of them in the culinary world.
The second and third layers (more than three are not recommended) are done in a similar way. The filling will vary depending on the specific recipe. For example, 100 g of sugar, the same amount of sour cream, 400 g of cottage cheese, 100 g of vanillin, 100 g of prunes. Mix the ingredients. Prunes must be finely chopped. The mass is placed between the cakes. A cheesecake is baked at a temperature of approximately 170 degrees. In the UK, it is not baked. It is considered a cold dessert. If there is no time for baking, try the British version - it will not disappoint you. When the cake is ready, be sure to let it cool. Melted cottage cheese, like cheese, is not very convenient to eat. You can decorate the cake as you wish. Use melted chocolate, jam, jam, whipped cream - everything your imagination tells you. It will be especially tasty with strawberries! The best part is that the cheesecake recipe at home does not require any special costs, and you can cook such a pie quickly enough. Now the guests will not take you by surprise - you can quickly and promptly treat your loved ones with a delicious and healthy dessert!
Another cheesecake recipe at home includes all of the above ingredients and 80 g of grated cheese (usually use ricotta cheese, hawarti). In order for the cheesecake to justify its name, you should cook it with such a filling. Cream cheese is also suitable for these purposes. If it is salty enough, do not add sugar and other sweet ingredients to the filling. Such a cheesecake can be served, for example, with sour cream (also without sugar). If the cheese is not salty, has a neutral taste, you can safely sweeten your dish - this will not spoil the taste. Try and look for new options!
