Soft square slice of cottage cheese cake

Take a bite into a slice of nostalgia with this soft cottage cheese cake. Made with simple pantry ingredients—margarine, flour, eggs, and tangy cottage cheese—this dessert is both comforting and satisfying. The base bakes into a tender crumb, while the creamy cheese filling remains gently moist. No need for elaborate steps—just mix, bake, and let the warm aroma fill the kitchen.

It’s perfect alongside a cup of coffee or tea, or as a gentle end to a family meal. Simple, cozy, and always welcome.

Method

  • Cut the margarine with a knife, mix it with a cup of flour, and rub it together. Then add salt, sugar, and another cup of flour, and again rub everything with your hands to a fine crumb.
  • Beat in the eggs and knead the dough quickly. Wrap the dough in cellophane and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Using the immersion attachment of a blender, blend all ingredients until smooth.
  • Spread the dough on the mold, pour the curd mass, and decorate with pisalis berries. Instead of pisalis can be pineapple slices, peaches, or any berries.
  • Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35 minutes.

The pies turn out simply magical: crispy crumbly base and delicious filling. And cooking everything is incredibly easy!
