Cottage Cheese Cheesecake

Preparation

1. 1

   Option A — bake a standard sponge cake using your favorite recipe (3–4 eggs, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, baking powder).

2. 2

   Option B — take store-bought puff pastry, roll into a thin sheet, cut out a circle slightly larger than the diameter of your springform pan and bake on a sheet, pricking the surface with a fork first.

3. 3

   Make the custard cream: mix egg yolks, milk and sugar in a bowl, place over a water bath and cook, stirring, until thickened. Remove from heat, add the bloomed gelatin, pour into the cream and stir until completely dissolved. Let cool.

4. 4

   Whip the heavy cream, add cottage cheese. At this stage you can add any fruit in chunks and mix. Add vanilla sugar if desired. Refrigerate until fully set.

5. 5

   The surface can be covered with melted chocolate cooled to room temperature, or prepare jelly, arrange your favorite fruit and pour jelly over the cake, refrigerate until fully set.
