Curd pie with apricots

Cookinero 30 Oct 2022

This cottage cheese pie with apricots is sophistication itself! Its filling is so tender that it literally melts in your mouth. And the cake itself disappears from the table in the blink of an eye, so if you plan to have a large group for tea, double the amount of ingredients and cook in two forms. Please note: cornstarch is added to the filling, which provides it with an elastic, but at the same time delicate texture. And by the way, it will be better if the apricot cottage cheese pie spends the night in the refrigerator (after it has completely cooled at room temperature, of course): in the morning the pastries will become even tastier!
