Tsar's cheesecake with cottage cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make royal cheesecake with cottage cheese at home? As easy as pie. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the highest grade flour. The oil should be cold.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add flour, sugar and vanilla sugar to the blender bowl, add cold butter cut into cubes, add baking soda and salt.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat everything until the crumbs are wet. If the crumbs are too loose and fine, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water and beat everything again. The crumbs will be moister and larger. But she shouldn't get into a ball. If you end up with large lumpy clumps, there is too much water. You need to add 1 tbsp. l. flour and beat again. Place the crumbs in the refrigerator.

4. STEP 4

   

   Now prepare the necessary ingredients for the filling. It is better to take cottage cheese with a fat content of 5% or higher. Take sour cream with a fat content of 15% or higher. Large, selected eggs are needed. If the eggs are small, take 1 more.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place cottage cheese, two types of sugar, sour cream, eggs and lemon zest into a blender bowl.

6. STEP 6

   

   Beat everything until you obtain a homogeneous viscous mass. Instead of a blender, you can use a mixer or kitchen machine. But in this case, the cottage cheese will need to be rubbed through a sieve to avoid lumps. Still, I advise you to use a blender - the filling will whip up in just a minute.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour most of the crumbs, about 3/4, into a parchment-lined baking dish with a diameter of 20-21 cm (I use a baking ring instead of a springform pan). Form the bottom and sides.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the curd filling onto the dough. It should not be higher than the dough sides. Ideally, the sides should rise at least slightly above the filling, because the filling will rise slightly during baking.

9. STEP 9

   

   Sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top of the pie. Bake the cheesecake in an oven preheated to 170°C for about 45 minutes. The filling should set well and the top should be browned. The exact time depends on your oven.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the pie from the oven and cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for 4-5 hours or overnight. Cut the chilled cheesecake into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!

I really love cottage cheese pastries, and Tsarskaya cheesecake with cottage cheese is one of the most delicious cottage cheese pies! I usually bake the cheesecake overnight so that it has time to cool well and the family doesn’t have time to take it away while it’s still warm) My crumble turned out to be a little dry at first, but with the addition of a spoonful of water everything returned to normal. When preparing the filling, it turned out that we had run out of sugar, it turned out to be 100 g. It was too late to run to the store, so I added 50 g of mint-lemon syrup to the cottage cheese. At the same time, the flavoring was natural) I compacted the sand crumbs with the bottom of the glass. I used a wide pan to make the cake flatter, I like it better this way. Bake for exactly 50 minutes. The filling actually rose a lot at first, but settled down during the cooling process. I took the pie out of the mold just before slicing. It cooled all night in the refrigerator. And in the morning we had a wonderful shortbread and cottage cheese pie for breakfast. The shortbread base was crispy and tasty and baked perfectly. The filling is very tender, similar to a soufflé. In general, the cheesecake is quite filling, you can easily fill yourself up with one piece) This pie is perfect for a holiday table, besides, it can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator until tea time.
