How to cook Sand cheesecake

Step 1

First, prepare the shortcrust pastry. To do this, sift the flour into a large, deep bowl. Add pieces of cold butter, salt, and sugar. Rub the butter and dry ingredients thoroughly until crumbs form.

Step 2

Add the chicken egg to the flour crumbs. Mix the dough thoroughly.

Step 3

Knead the dough until it becomes a plastic mass. Form a ball out of the dough.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Place the cottage cheese in a deep bowl.

Step 6

Add sour cream, egg and sugar to the cottage cheese. Beat all ingredients until smooth. It is best to use a mixer or blender, so the filling will be more airy and creamy.

Step 7

Grate the zest of half a lemon and add to the cream. Stir.

Step 8

Roll out the chilled shortcrust pastry and place it in a baking pan, forming the sides. Make multiple punctures in the dough with a fork.

Step 9

Place the filling and smooth it out with a spatula.

Step 10

Place the vatrushka in the oven to bake for 40 minutes. Cool the finished vatrushka a little and remove it from the mold.

Step 11

The shortbread cheesecake is ready. Enjoy your meal!
