Curd pie with mango

8 servings

60 minutes

Mango cheesecake is a delicate treat that combines the creamy texture of cottage cheese with the sweet exoticism of mango. Its base is a crumbly shortcrust pastry that perfectly complements the airy filling. Mango adds fruity freshness and a slight tartness, creating an exquisite balance of flavors. This dessert comes from American cuisine, where simple yet refined combinations are loved. It is perfect for cozy family tea times and festive occasions. Best enjoyed chilled when the texture becomes particularly velvety and the flavor is most pronounced. It can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh berries, which only highlights its versatility.

Cooking steps

1. Make sand dough. Take the butter out of the fridge for a few hours. It should be soft. If there's no time, you can put it in the microwave for 20 seconds to speed up.

   Required ingredients:

   • Unsalted butter: 1 piece

2. For the test, take a pack of 90% butter. Use the rest for greasing baking paper. Mix the butter with baking powder, sugar, and flour. Gradually add the flour. The dough should be slightly sticky. If it starts to crumble, add more butter from the remaining pack.

   Required ingredients:

   • Unsalted butter: 1 piece
   • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
   • Sugar: 2 tablespoons
   • Wheat flour: 2 glasss

3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Place baking paper in a round pan, grease it with remaining butter and sprinkle a little flour. Put the dough in the pan. Do not roll it out completely; place it in pieces as it's easier with shortcrust pastry. Prick the dough in several places with a fork to prevent puffing up and bake for 6 minutes in the oven. This will ensure the dough is well-cooked.

   Required ingredients:

   • Unsalted butter: 1 piece
   • Wheat flour: 2 glasss

4. While the dough rises, prepare the filling for the pie. Blend cream cheese with cottage cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. The filling is ready.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cottage cheese: 2.5 pieces
   • Low-fat cottage cheese: 200 g
   • Powdered sugar: 6 tablespoons

5. Remove the slightly baked dough from the oven, add canned mango on top, and then the filling.

   Required ingredients:

   • Canned Mango: 1 jar

6. Bake the pie for 30-40 minutes. Be sure to cool it down. It's much tastier that way.
