Pie with strawberries and cottage cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a pie with strawberries and cottage cheese? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take premium flour.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a blender bowl, combine flour, diced cold butter, sugar and salt. Beat everything into fine crumbs.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add the yolks and ice water to the crumbs.

4. STEP 4

   

   Quickly knead into a homogeneous shortbread dough. As soon as the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and stops sticking to your hands, it is ready.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wrap the dough in film or a bag and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Roll out the chilled shortbread dough on a sheet of parchment into a thin circle with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the baking pan.

7. STEP 7

   

   Transfer the dough to a greased and floured baking dish (Ø 22-24 cm) and make sides.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place paper on the dough, pour dry weight on top (for me it's beans). Bake the dough in an oven preheated to 180ºC for 20-25 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   While the dough is baking, prepare the filling. Melt the butter first and cool it. Cottage cheese is suitable for any fat content.

10. STEP 10

    

    Wash the strawberries, dry and cut into small pieces.

11. STEP 11

    

    Divide the eggs into yolks and whites. It is important that when separating, not a drop of yolk gets into the whites, otherwise it will not foam. Place the whites in the refrigerator.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place cottage cheese, melted butter, yolks, starch, sugar, vanilla sugar and lemon zest into a blender bowl. Beat until smooth. You should get a dense, homogeneous viscous mass.

13. STEP 13

    

    Beat the whites separately until they form a stable, fluffy foam.

14. STEP 14

    

    Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the curd filling.

15. STEP 15

    

    Add chopped strawberries and mix gently.

16. STEP 16

    

    Place the curd filling on the dough and smooth it out. Depending on the shape you choose and the height of the sides, you may have some dough and/or curd filling left over. If there is any filling left, you can put it in a small pan and bake. Get a cottage cheese casserole with strawberries.

17. STEP 17

    

    Return the pie to the oven for about 30 minutes more.

18. STEP 18

    

    Now prepare the jam. It can be prepared the night before and slightly warmed before applying to the pie. You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for confiture.

19. STEP 19

    

    Place strawberries and sugar in a blender bowl. Blend until pureed.

20. STEP 20

    

    Pour out some of the puree and dissolve the starch in it.

21. STEP 21

    

    Pour the rest of the puree into a saucepan, place on low heat and bring to a boil. When the mixture begins to boil, pour in the puree with starch and cook the confiture, stirring, until thickened.

22. STEP 22

    

    While the tart is still warm, evenly cover the top with strawberry jam. Cool tart at room temperature. Then put it in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.

23. STEP 23

    

    Before serving, decorate the tart with fresh strawberries. Bon appetit!

The pie is cool, I think it’s perfect for autumn-winter! It’s cold outside, but there’s a pie with fresh strawberries in the house!!! You can probably do it with raspberries) I buy them in season, wash them, remove the tails, mix them with sugar (to taste) in a blender and in plastic bottles (0.5) from under water. It stores perfectly in the freezer. I took it out, defrosted it, and out of the bottle there was a fresh and aromatic berry!!!

Thanks for the recipe! Surprisingly, everything turned out great for me, although I doubted that everything would work out the first time. Insanely delicious pie, with a pronounced strawberry flavor!
