Cooking steps

1. Let's prepare the dough. Pass the cottage cheese (150 g) through a sieve. Mix it with sugar, egg, butter, and vanillin.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cottage cheese: 350 g
   • Sugar: 2 tablespoons
   • Chicken egg: 1 piece
   • Butter: 30 g
   • Vanillin: 0.5 piece

2. Melt the chocolate in a water bath or microwave. Add to the cottage cheese mixture and stir.

   Required ingredients:

   • Dark chocolate: 30 g
   • Cottage cheese: 350 g

3. Gradually add flour with baking powder, kneading the dough (the dough remains very soft but does not stick to the hands). Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 130 g
   • Baking powder: 1 g

4. Grease the baking pan well with butter (22 cm pan). Spread the dough with your hands, forming edges 2.5–3 cm high. Poke the dough frequently with a fork (bottom and bending areas of the dough).

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 30 g

5. We send it to the oven preheated to 190 degrees for 20 minutes.

6. We are preparing a soufflé. Soak the gelatin in cold water, no more than 5 mm above the gelatin. Let it swell.

   Required ingredients:

   • Gelatin: 2.5 tablespoons

7. Whip the yogurt with powdered sugar in a blender or mixer. Add cottage cheese (200 g) and whip again.

   Required ingredients:

   • Yogurt: 360 g
   • Powdered sugar: 80 g
   • Cottage cheese: 350 g

8. Place the swollen gelatin on the heat and let it melt without boiling. While constantly whisking the cottage cheese-yogurt mixture, slowly pour in the gelatin. Whisk everything well.

   Required ingredients:

   • Gelatin: 2.5 tablespoons

9. Pour into the soufflé base. Send everything to the fridge to set.

10. After 15-20 minutes, when the soufflé starts to set, take out the tart and insert berries (of your choice) into the soufflé. Then put it back in the fridge to fully set for about 2 hours or overnight.

    Required ingredients:

    • Fresh berries: 250 g

11. Remove the finished tart soufflé from the mold onto a plate. Decorate with mint leaves.
