Blueberry pie with cottage cheese

10 servings

60 minutes

Blueberry pie with cottage cheese is a delicate combination of airy dough, creamy cheese filling, and juicy berries. This dessert has roots in European cuisine where cottage cheese is often used in baking, giving it a special softness and rich flavor. Blueberries add freshness and a slight tartness that perfectly complements the sweetness of the dough. In the finished pie, textures harmoniously intertwine: a crispy base, velvety cheese layer, and explosive berry accent. It is served as an independent treat with tea or coffee and as a light dessert after a hearty lunch. It is wonderful both warm when the filling remains tender and creamy and in its chilled version gaining density and richness of flavor. An ideal choice for those who appreciate the balance of sweetness and freshness.

Cooking steps

1. Rub the butter with 100 g of sugar and vanillin (I had vanilla sugar, you can add a bit more).

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 100 g
   • Sugar: 200 g
   • Vanillin: 0.3 teaspoon

2. Add eggs and mix.

3. Mix flour and baking powder and add to the mixture. Knead a soft dough into a ball.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 300 g
   • Baking powder: 2 teaspoons

4. Line the mold (Ø 26 cm) with parchment paper.

5. Roll out the dough and shape the edges higher, prick it with a fork, and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes.

6. The dough will rise, don't be scared when you take it out of the oven, press the bottom with a spoon, it will settle down calmly.

7. For the filling, mix the cottage cheese with the remaining sugar (I added less sugar than the recipe calls for, I don't like it sweet), add cream and whisk into a smooth mixture.

   • Cottage cheese: 400 g
   • Sugar: 200 g
   • Cream 10%: 250 ml

8. We add blueberries (I had frozen ones, so I thawed them and drained the excess liquid) and mix gently. I think next time I won't mix the berries, but just carefully place them on top.

   • Blueberry: 400 g

9. Pour over the dough and bake again at 180°C for 40 minutes.

10. Before opening the mold, let it cool down well.
