Tender Cottage Cheese Cheesecake
Baking and Desserts • American
Description
ALL INGREDIENTS MUST BE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. This is like the law of a proper cheesecake. Savoiardi can be replaced with the same 'Jubilee' cookies. However, for a more refined cheesecake flavor, savoiardi is still preferable. Because it does not have such a rich flavor of additives. Regular sweet crackers would work well too, I think. It's best to use soft, homemade, fatty cottage cheese. But even with regular store-bought cottage cheese, you can still give it a try. The only thing you need to do is to pass it through a sieve. Then the lumps will disappear, and it will become airy.
Ingredients
- Soft Cottage Cheese 20 oz
- Sour Cream 35% 5 oz
- Savoiardi Cookies 10 oz
- Chicken Eggs 3 pieces
- Sugar 5 oz
- Butter 5 oz
- Lemon Zest 1 tablespoon
- Vanillin to taste
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Crush the cookies into crumbs (preferably in a blender). This will help achieve a more uniform crumbly structure without hard pieces. Add the melted butter and mix with the cookies. It should be crumbly but hold its shape when squeezed in your hand.
Step 2
Transfer the resulting mixture into a springform pan as a crust with sides (about 3 cm high). Press down firmly with your fingers, leaving no gaps.
Step 3
Place the cookie crust in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for better adhesion.
Step 4
Beat the eggs with the sugar. The mixture should increase in volume and lighten slightly.
Step 5
Combine the egg mixture with the cottage cheese (previously sieved if necessary) and mix. I recommend using a mixer, but on the lowest speed.
Step 6
Add the sour cream and lemon zest. Beat again for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Pour the airy cottage cheese mixture into the cold crust and bake at 340°F (this temperature should be maintained) for 50 minutes. The cheesecake is ready when the edges are set, and the center is slightly 'jiggly.'
Step 8
Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door open. Do not remove it from the pan. Then place it in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
Step 9
If desired, you can decorate the finished cheesecake with fresh fruits. I drizzled it with cherry jam. Enjoy your meal!
