Cream recipe
There may be several options.
First recipe. Mix a pack of cottage cheese and pudding with an egg and four tablespoons of sugar. If desired, you can add any dye. The cream turns out quite thick.
Second recipe. Mix a pack of cottage cheese with a mixer at medium speed with fifty grams of butter and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. The mass should be homogeneous. Sift two hundred grams of powdered sugar through a sieve and add to the cream in small portions. The mass should be perfectly smooth and thick.
Third recipe. To prepare a dense cream that holds its shape and does not spread, you must use gelatin. Prepare one sachet according to the instructions. Pass a pack of cottage cheese through a sieve so that there are no lumps in the future cream. Mix it with sugar and sour cream (two hundred grams). At the very end, add a little vanillin and gelatin. The mixture will be liquid. This cream must be left in the refrigerator overnight before preparing. The final mixture is thick, with a jelly-like consistency.
Fourth recipe. Mix a pack of cottage cheese with a can of condensed milk and six large spoons of sour cream. Beat thoroughly with a mixer until smooth. Add fifty grams of poppy seeds. Apply this cream to the cakes and leave them in the refrigerator for several hours. In this case, the dessert will turn out juicy and very appetizing.
Fifth recipe. This is a very simple option for making cream. It will require high-quality cottage cheese and sugar. The quantity can be determined according to your taste. If the cottage cheese is thick and dense, then it is recommended to reduce its quantity. You can add sour cream. If there are grains in the cottage cheese, it is recommended to rub it through a sieve. The option is simple, but the cream is very tasty.
Sixth recipe. Grind a chicken egg with one hundred grams of sugar and half a glass of lemon juice. Mix the ingredients thoroughly. Add lemon zest to the cream and leave at room temperature for one hour. Be sure to stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. After time, strain the liquid using a sieve, add a small heaped spoonful of starch. The mixture should be homogeneous. Bring the cream to a boil over low heat and cook for a minute until it thickens. Cover with film, cool and put in the refrigerator. Rub a pack of cottage cheese through a sieve. While whipping, add cream little by little. The mixture should be homogeneous.
Curd two-layer pie with poppy seeds
It would seem that a shortcrust pastry pie cannot be varied with anything. And even more so, every housewife knows how to bake a cottage cheese pie. But a shortbread pie with a poppy seed layer and a delicate curd soufflé with a subtle aroma of lemon zest will simply make you think differently about baking from shortcrust pastry. Prepare a two-layer cottage cheese pie with poppy seeds for the visit of distant relatives and they will not want to leave your home. At least until the whole pie is eaten.
We will need:
for test
- flour - 250 g
- baking powder - 1 pack
- egg - 1 pc.
- butter or margarine - 150 g
- sugar - 50 g
- vanillin - 0.5 g
for the poppy layer:
- raisins - 100 g
- rum or liqueur - 2 tbsp
- poppy seed – 200 g
- sugar - 125 g
- zest - 1/2 lemon
- butter or margarine - 50 g
- milk - 125 ml
for curd soufflé:
- cottage cheese - 2 packs
- sugar - 125 g
- egg - 2 pcs
- lemon juice - 2 tbsp
- sour cream - 100 g
- starch - 2 tbsp.
Fill the raisins with liqueur and forget about it for a while.
Let's start preparing the dough. Sift the flour into a bowl, add vanillin and baking powder, egg and softened margarine. Using a fork, mash the mixture well.
And then quickly form the dough into a ball with your hands. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat the milk and sugar in a saucepan on the stove until it is completely dissolved.
Pour poppy seeds into hot milk syrup. You can boil it a little. Remove from the stove, cover with a lid and let stand for a while to swell. Then add raisins soaked in liqueur.
Add lemon zest and butter. Mix. Place in the refrigerator.
Rub the cottage cheese through a sieve. Or beat in a processor.
Add eggs, sugar, sour cream and starch. Squeeze the juice from the lemon. Mix the mass well.
The result is a very soft and elastic curd mass.
Now let's start baking. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Warm it a little at room temperature so you can roll it out.
Place the dough in the pan and place in a preheated oven to lightly bake until half cooked. Sometimes it is recommended to fill the pan with legumes so that it bakes evenly. But I make a few punctures with a fork. When the shortbread dough rises well, it becomes crumbly.
You need to bake until the dough has time to puff up, but not yet brown. Now we lay out the poppy layer. It should not be very liquid. If it seems a little liquid to you, then add a little more raisins.
Then pour the curd mass evenly over the surface and level it.
Place in an oven preheated to 250°C and bake until golden brown. Cool slightly without removing from the mold.
To remove the cake from the pan, run a knife around the edge and remove the pan from the cake. If you don't have a springform pan, line your pan with baking paper before baking.
Cool the pie in the refrigerator. Serve the two-layer cottage cheese pie with poppy seeds in portions.
I look forward to your feedback and comments.

Cottage cheese and poppy seed pie from Alla Kovalchuk. Festive variation
It won't take much time to prepare it.
Make the dough according to the suggested recipe and bake four thin cakes from it. Take them out and set them aside to cool. At this time, prepare the cream according to the second recipe. Cut two hundred grams of large and juicy strawberries into thin slices.
We begin to form the “Festive” poppy-curd pie. Grease the first cake with cream, spread strawberries on the surface and cover with the next one. Fold all tiers in the same way. Spread the top cake layer and sides thickly with cream. Decorate the dessert with halves of fresh strawberries.
Step-by-step preparation
- In order to prepare grated pie with cottage cheese and poppy seeds, we need to knead a soft dough. To do this, as always in such cases, it is necessary to sift premium wheat flour. Don't forget to salt it a little. Immediately place a piece of butter into the bowl with flour. Oil can be either hard or soft. Mix fat with flour. There should be no pieces of butter left. You should rub it well.
- To make the dough softer, we should add about one teaspoon of soda to the flour and quench it with acetic acid (I usually use apple cider vinegar). When both ingredients combine and form foam, mix them with flour.
- The next component that we will add to the flour will be sour milk. If you don’t have sour milk, replace it with sour cream or milk mixed with cream. Regular mayonnaise will also work. Mix the component you added with the rest of the ingredients and form a ball of dough.
- If the dough turns out to be too liquid and difficult to mold, add a little more flour. Divide the formed ball of dough into two unequal parts. Place both in a bag or cover with cling film and put in the refrigerator for half an hour.
- In the meantime, prepare the curd and poppy seed filling. To begin, mix the cottage cheese with a chicken egg.
- Then sweeten the curd mixture. To do this, add about three tablespoons of granulated sugar. In general, the amount of sugar depends on you. At the same stage, add vanilla sugar to the cottage cheese. Mix everything thoroughly until it has a homogeneous consistency.
- Now let's take care of the poppy seeds. You can buy ready-made poppy seed filling for pies and not bother yourself with further steps. As a rule, this filling is sold with added sugar. If you still use dry poppy seeds. Then you need to mix it with semolina and one tablespoon of granulated sugar. If desired, the amount of poppy seeds can be increased.
- Pour boiling water over the poppy seed base and let sit for a few minutes. If desired, this mixture can be boiled a little over low heat. After this, the poppy will become even softer.
- When the poppy seed is sufficiently swollen, move it into a bowl with the curd mass. Mix both components.
- After half an hour, take out the dough. Roll out the larger ball on a floured surface.
- Grease a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Lay out a layer of dough and straighten it with your hands. It should take the shape of a baking sheet.
- Spread the curd and poppy seed filling on top. Distribute it over the surface.
- Grate the second piece of dough using a grater. Distribute the dough over the surface of the pie. Make sure that the layer of dough is not too thick, but at the same time completely covers the cottage cheese.
- Bake the product for about 20-25 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 degrees. When the top and edges of the baked goods are browned, our grated cottage cheese and poppy seed pie is ready! Cut into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!
Pie with curd and poppy seed filling “Delicious”
The cooking process for this dish is similar to the previous one. The main difference is that the layers are coated with freshly prepared jam. To do this, you need to grind three hundred grams of strawberries with powdered sugar and lemon zest. The jam should be thick. Each layer must be coated very thickly. Spread generously with cream on top and sides.
It is recommended to serve the poppy-curd pie immediately so that the cakes do not become soft. The dessert turns out very aromatic and juicy.
Cakes “Appetizing”
Preparing this dish will not cause any difficulties. It turns out to be a portioned poppy-curd pie.
To begin with, it is recommended to use the cream according to the second recipe. After cooking, leave it in the refrigerator for several hours. In this case, the cream will be freely squeezed out through the pastry syringe.
The dough must be prepared according to a universal recipe. Next, put it in the molds, filling them 2/3 of the volume. Cook over low heat. The cupcakes should not be too browned. Remove them from the oven and cool well.
