Ingredients
- Butter 5 oz

- Sugar 5 oz
- Water 5 fl oz
- Gelatin 0 oz
- Whole egg 6 pieces
- Lemon 1 piece
- Cottage cheese 20 oz
- Whipped Cream 15 fl oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Crumble the cookies (you can pass them through a meat grinder or roll them with a rolling pin in a plastic bag).
Step 2
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat and mix thoroughly with the crushed cookies. Press this mixture into the bottom of a cake pan in an even layer, compacting it firmly across the entire surface, and then freeze.
Step 3
Dissolve the sugar in 80 ml of water and bring to a boil for 3-5 minutes. While the syrup is cooking, squeeze the juice from the lemon and grate the zest.
Step 4
Whisk the egg yolks, and while continuing to whisk, gradually pour in the sugar syrup (the bowl should be heatproof!). Beat until the mixture becomes colorless and cools down.
Step 5
Dissolve the gelatin in the remaining water. Combine the cottage cheese, zest, lemon juice, gelatin, and the mixture of egg yolks with syrup. Stir until smooth.
Step 6
Whip the cream until stiff peaks form and fold it into the mixture.
Step 7
Place the mixture onto the cookie crust (previously chilled until firm). Refrigerate for several hours until the cake sets.
Step 8
Garnish the cake with fresh berries or canned peaches.
