For all those who do not like to be in the kitchen for a long time, but prefer homemade food. We offer a recipe for peat pie, ingenious in its simplicity. No long tedious kneading and rolling dough. The layers of the pie are a crumb of flour, cocoa and sugar, which is ground with butter. The filling consists of dairy products, eggs and sugar. After baking, the mixture is obtained with the structure of a dense cheesecake.
For the recipe, you will need high-quality cocoa powder, preferably alkalized. Part of the flour (¼) can be replaced with corn starch. When choosing butter, give preference to varieties with a fat content of 82%. For the filling you will need cottage cheese from 5%, fat sour cream 21% or cream. Semolina in the recipe can be replaced with starch, and sugar with honey. For baking the product, it is allowed to use a split form covered with parchment. In case you bake a cake in one-piece form, be sure to make a French shirt.
