Brief history
Cheese pie is a dessert that has been enjoyed for generations, with deep roots in various culinary traditions. This modern recipe brings a new breath, combining cow cheese with the sweetness of white chocolate, creating a contrast of flavors that delights the taste buds.
Step by Step
Step 1: Preparing the filling
1. Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the cow cheese is well-drained to avoid a too-wet filling.
2. In a large bowl, add the egg yolks, salt, and sugar. Use a mixer or whisk to mix the ingredients well until you achieve a homogeneous composition.
3. Add the grated white chocolate and continue mixing.
4. Incorporate the cow cheese, raisins, and rum essence. Mix everything well so that you have a uniform and tasty filling.
Step 2: Preparing the pie sheets
1. Meanwhile, melt the Pilos butter in a small pot over low heat, being careful not to burn it.
2. Prepare the baking tray by lining it with baking paper.
3. Start forming the layers of pie. Place a pie sheet in the tray and brush it with melted butter. Continue alternating sheets with filling, using one sheet, brushing with butter, then adding filling.
4. It is important to use 11 sheets, with the first 3 for the base of the pie, followed by filling, then 3 brushed sheets, filling, and so on. You can crumble the last 2 sheets and mix them with the melted butter to sprinkle on top.
Step 3: Baking the pie
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Once the pie is assembled, place a pot of water under the tray to maintain moisture in the oven, which will help achieve a perfect texture.
3. Bake the pie for about 45 minutes or until it turns golden and passes the toothpick test (insert a toothpick in the middle; if it comes out clean, the pie is ready).
4. After it cools slightly, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant appearance and extra sweetness.
Step 4: Serving
1. Cut the pie into squares or triangles, depending on your preference. It is delicious both warm and cold, but I recommend enjoying it warm to savor the rich flavors of chocolate and cheese!
2. It can be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a contrast of textures.
Useful Tips
- Raisins: If you prefer, you can soak the raisins in warm water or rum to make them softer and more flavorful.
- Vegan option: You can replace cow cheese with a nut-based or tofu vegan cheese, and the butter with coconut oil.
- Chocolate: Instead of white chocolate, you can use dark or milk chocolate to adapt the recipe to your taste.
Nutritional Benefits
This pie is a good source of protein due to the cow cheese, while the white chocolate adds a boost of antioxidants. It is important to enjoy this pie in moderation, considering the sugar content. A serving can contain approximately 350-400 calories, depending on how you prepare it.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use other types of cheese? Yes, you can experiment with Ricotta or goat cheese for different flavors.
2. Can the pie be frozen? Yes, the pie can be frozen, but it is recommended to consume it fresh to enjoy its optimal texture.
3. How can I adapt the recipe for a gluten-free dessert? You can use gluten-free pie sheets or prepare a pie dough from almond flour.
