Strawberry-Cottage Cheese Pie is the embodiment of tenderness and freshness. This dessert combines the softness of cottage cheese with the brightness of ripe strawberries, creating a harmony of flavors and textures. The base of the pie is a crumbly dough with light creamy notes that perfectly complements the airy filling. Historically, such pies have their place in Russian cuisine, where natural ingredients play a key role. This pie is perfect for cozy tea gatherings, family meetings, or simply moments of enjoyment. After baking, it acquires a golden hue, and cooling makes it even richer. Serve it with a cup of fragrant tea or coffee, enjoying the gentle sweetness and slight tartness of strawberries. It’s a dessert that brings warmth and joy to everyone who tries it.
1
First, we prepare the dough. Mix butter, egg, half a cup of sugar, and mayonnaise in a bowl. Add flour and baking powder. Knead the dough well.
- Butter: 200 g
- Chicken egg: 1 piece
- Sugar: 1 glass
- Mayonnaise: 100 g
- Wheat flour: 4 glasss
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon

Divide the dough into two parts (one part should be smaller than the other, which we will use for decorating the pie). Roll both parts into balls and place them in the freezer for 20-25 minutes.

At this time, we will prepare the filling for our pie. It can be made in a blender or with a mixer. I used a blender. I placed 500 grams of well-washed strawberries, 200 g of cottage cheese, cream, vanillin, and the remaining sugar into the bowl. Mix everything until it resembles yogurt consistency.
- Strawberry: 1 kg
- Cottage cheese: 200 g
- Cream: 0.25 l
- Vanillin: 0.5 teaspoon
- Sugar: 1 glass

Take the dough out of the freezer and spread a larger piece in the pie form. Top with cottage cheese-strawberry yogurt, then place the remaining strawberries on top. You can cut the strawberries into pieces or place them whole.
- Strawberry: 1 kg

The remaining dough can be used to decorate the pie. In any way you like.

Bake the pie at 180 degrees for about 60–70 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as it may cook faster in your oven.
