Curd Cream Pie

60 minutes
Cottage cheese cream pie is an exquisite dessert of Russian cuisine that combines the softness of chocolate dough and the tenderness of creamy cottage cheese filling. Its origins trace back to traditional Russian pastries where cottage cheese has always been an important ingredient. The fragile cocoa dough, complemented by the vanilla aroma of the cream, creates a harmonious taste: slightly chocolatey with a pleasant tang from the cottage cheese and light sweetness. This pie is perfect for cozy family tea gatherings, festive feasts, or simply as a refined treat with coffee. A special detail is the small dough balls gently sunk into the filling, giving the pie an original appearance and interesting texture. The flavor of this dessert highlights the simplicity of its preparation, allowing one to enjoy sweet home comfort in every bite.
