6 servings

60 minutes

Cottage cheese pie made from crumbly dough is an incredibly tender dessert that combines the lightness of shortcrust pastry with an airy cottage cheese filling. This recipe originates from Russian cuisine, where the simplicity of ingredients harmoniously blends with rich flavor. The crumbly dough transforms into a golden crust during baking, hiding a creamy cottage cheese mass with vanilla notes inside. Butter evenly spread on top gives the pie a special velvety texture and rich aroma. This pie is perfect for morning tea or a cozy family tea time, and its unusual texture and sweet aftertaste make it a favorite dessert for any occasion.
