Cooking secrets
Peat pie, the recipe of which contains cottage cheese and shortbread dough, is somewhat reminiscent of a royal cheesecake. Only in it there is also a cocoa flavor. The dough here is special - shortbread, very, very shortbread, as if from a sweet chocolate sand. It should neither be molded, nor rolled, but resemble crumbly crumb. We will prepare the dough from the following products:
- a pack of butter of medium fat content;
- 3 cups of the highest quality flour;
- 2/3 cup sugar;
- 0.5 tsp soda;
- 3 tbsp. l cocoa powder.
First, carefully grind the butter and sugar. We don’t need to beat, we have other tasks. Now pour cocoa and mix gently. The flour is mixed with soda, portioned into the oil mass. It is convenient for some housewives who have already mastered peat pie to finish this process manually, that is, to grind crumbs for the dough with their fingers.
Now proceed to the filling. Making it even easier than dough. Mix a pound of cottage cheese, 4 medium-sized eggs and 150 g of sugar, grind. And even better - beat with a blender. Now add a little yogurt (or sour cream), only about half a glass. To top it, sprinkle with starch (approx. 3 tbsp. L.), Whisk again. If you like vanilla, add a pinch, the taste will benefit from this.
And now for the fun part. Cover the bottom of the form with baking paper and pour half the crumbs there. We spread the curd filling on top and fill it with the second half of the shortcrust pastry. You don’t need to accept anything! The mass itself will sit down as it should. Do you use a silicone mold for baking? Great, then no paper is needed.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven about 200 ° C for about 50 minutes. And after this time is up, turn off the gas, open the door, but do not remove the cake for about an hour. And even after that you should not rush. It is better to leave the peat pie alone for a few hours - from this it will only get better.
Serving to the table
This dessert is good for breakfast and afternoon tea. It goes well with coffee, tea, compotes, juices and fruit drinks. Suitable for him and milk drinks. Peat cake holds its shape perfectly, does not fall apart, does not fall. You can decorate it with a sprinkle of grated chocolate or cocoa. But by and large, it looks pretty good and in its original form.
