Its history intertwines with moments of celebration and joy, often prepared for special occasions, bringing a touch of magic to our tables. Ingredients For the layers (2 layers): - 10 egg whites - 300 g sugar - 200 g flour - 2 packets of vanilla essence - 2 pinches of salt For the cream: - 800 g fresh cottage cheese (well-drained) - 100 g vanilla sugar - 600 ml liquid cream (or heavy cream) - 200 g powdered sugar - 80 g poppy seeds (boiled in milk) - 300 ml sweetened milk with 4 tablespoons of sugar For decoration: - 8-10 peaches (washed and sliced) - 400 ml water - 400 g sugar - 2 packets of Tort-Gelle Step by Step 1. Preparing the Layers Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Prepare two baking trays by lining them with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt at high speed. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a firm meringue. It is essential for the meringue to be well-aerated to obtain fluffy layers. Carefully fold in the crushed egg yolks and vanilla essence, mixing gently. Finally, add the flour, using a spatula to avoid losing air in the mixture. Divide the batter evenly between the two trays and bake for 20 minutes, or until the layers turn golden and pass the toothpick test. Once baked, let them cool completely on a wire rack. 2. Preparing the Cream In another bowl, mix the cream or heavy cream with the vanilla sugar until it becomes firm. Add the well-drained cottage cheese, powdered sugar, and poppy seeds. The latter were previously boiled in sweetened milk to release their flavor and become more pleasant to taste. Mix everything well until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous cream. 3. Assembling the Cheesecake In the tray where you baked the layers, place the first layer, followed by a generous layer of poppy seed cheese cream. Place the second layer on top and press gently. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and let the cheesecake chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the cream to set. 4. Preparing the Peach Jelly Wash the peaches and slice them thinly. In a saucepan, boil water with sugar until completely dissolved. Add the peach slices and let them simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Strain the syrup obtained and let the peach slices cool. In the remaining syrup, add the Tort-Gelle packet, mixing well and boiling for a few moments until it thickens. Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly, then pour the jelly over the peach slices that have been placed on the cheesecake. 5. Serving Let the cheesecake sit in the refrigerator for another hour for the jelly to set. When ready to serve, use a very sharp knife to slice the cheesecake, ensuring that each piece contains both filling and peach jelly. Practical Tips - Flour: Choose a good quality flour for the best results. Pastry flour provides a finer texture for the layers. - Cheese: Make sure the cottage cheese is well-drained; this way, the cream will be lighter and not watery. - Poppy seeds: Boil the poppy seeds in milk to soften them and enhance their flavor. You can also use black poppy seeds for an interesting contrast. Possible Variations - You can add a bit of grated lemon or orange zest to the cream for a fresher flavor. - Instead of peaches, experiment with other fruits like apricots or raspberries for a different taste. Calories and Nutritional Benefits A serving of cheesecake contains approximately 350-400 calories, depending on the ingredients used. Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein and calcium, while poppy seeds provide essential fatty acids and fiber. Peaches are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, contributing to a balanced diet. Pairing Recommendations This cheesecake pairs wonderfully with a cup of green tea or a sweet white wine that complements the delicate flavors of the cheese and enhances them. Additionally, vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce would make a delicious addition. Don’t forget to share this recipe with friends and family!
