Sweet Cheese and Raisin Pie - A Nostalgic Delicacy If you are looking for a recipe that combines tradition with exquisite taste, this sweet cheese and raisin pie is the perfect choice. A recipe I learned from a good friend, who not only provided me with the ingredients but also the stories behind each bite. It is a dessert that reminds us of family moments, enveloped in the warm aroma of cheese and sweet raisins. So, let’s get to work! Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 50 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes Number of servings: 12 Necessary ingredients For the dough: - 6 eggs - 16 tablespoons of sugar - 2 packets of vanilla sugar - 16 tablespoons of oil (preferably sunflower oil) - 1 tablespoon of grated lemon zest - 1 vial of rum essence - 100 g sour cream - 1 cup of flour (approximately 250 g) - 1 tablespoon of lemon juice - a pinch of salt - 1 pinch of baking powder For the filling: - 1 kg cottage cheese (ideally well drained) - 100 g sour cream - 4 eggs - 2 packets of vanilla sugar - 1 vial of rum essence - 1 cup of sugar - 2 tablespoons of semolina - 150 g raisins (it’s good to soak them in warm water or rum) - grated zest of one small lemon - a pinch of salt We also need: - butter for greasing the pan - powdered sugar for dusting Preparing the dough 1. Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. This step is essential for achieving an even and well-baked dough. 2. In a large bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. If you have an electric mixer, use it to make this process easier. 3. Gradually add the oil in a thin stream while continuing to mix. This will help emulsify the ingredients and ensure a fluffy dough. 4. Incorporate the sour cream, grated lemon zest, and rum essence, mixing well to combine the flavors. 5. Sift the flour with the salt and gradually add it to the egg mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon from top to bottom. This will prevent lumps from forming and keep the air in the dough. 6. Dissolve the baking powder in the lemon juice and incorporate it into the dough mixture. This step will help the dough rise and give it a fluffy texture. 7. Grease a pan with butter and line it with baking paper. Pour half of the dough mixture into the pan and level it. 8. Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until it becomes slightly golden. This will create a solid base for the filling. Preparing the filling 1. In another bowl, beat the eggs well with a pinch of salt. Add the cottage cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla sugar, rum essence, grated lemon zest, and semolina. Mix well to homogenize the composition. 2. Add the soaked raisins, making sure they are well distributed in the mixture. The raisins will add sweetness and texture. 3. Remove the pan from the oven and pour the filling over the partially baked dough, leveling the surface well. 4. Pour the remaining dough over the filling, completely covering it. 5. Put the pan back in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the pie turns golden and is well baked. You can do the toothpick test to ensure it is baked inside. 6. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool in the pan. You can dust it with powdered sugar for an elegant appearance and an extra touch of sweetness. Serving and suggestions This sweet cheese and raisin pie can be served warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for dessert or a snack between meals. It can be accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a berry sauce, which will add a pleasant contrast of flavors. Serving variation: If you want to add a personal touch, you can sprinkle some roasted nuts or coconut flakes on top of the filling before adding the remaining dough. These will bring an extra texture and flavor. Nutritional benefits This pie is a good source of protein due to the cottage cheese and eggs. The raisins add fiber and antioxidants, while the sour cream contributes healthy fats. However, to maintain balance, it is recommended to enjoy this dessert in moderation. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use a different type of cheese? Yes, you can experiment with ricotta or goat cheese for a different flavor. 2. How can I make this pie less sweet? Reducing the amount of sugar in the filling will help achieve a less sweet taste. 3. Can I replace the raisins with something else? Of course! You can use dried cranberries, blueberries, or even chocolate chips for a delicious variation. In conclusion, this sweet cheese and raisin pie is a simple yet flavorful recipe that will bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones.
