Curd pie "Zebra"

8 servings

60 minutes

Cottage cheese pie 'Zebra' is an elegant combination of airy cottage cheese dough with delicate chocolate and vanilla layers, creating a characteristic striped pattern. Its roots trace back to Italian cuisine, where simplicity and refined taste are valued. The light sweetness of the cottage cheese, along with the aroma of cocoa and vanilla, makes this pie an ideal choice for morning coffee or a cozy tea time. Thanks to semolina, the pie's texture is soft yet firm, and the pattern created with a toothpick turns the dessert into a work of art. It requires no complex ingredients, is easy to prepare, and is perfect for those who prefer light yet exquisite desserts.
