This quick dessert is perfect for any occasion, whether you want to delight your family or impress your guests. Here’s how to prepare it step by step, with useful tips for achieving a perfect result. Necessary ingredients: - 1200 g flour - 250 g margarine - 250 ml sparkling water - 1 kg sweet cheese - 300 g sugar - 50 g semolina - 250 g raisins - Zest of 1 lemon - 1 vial of lemon essence - 10 eggs Preparing the dough: 1. In a large bowl, melt the margarine over low heat. Let it cool slightly, then add the sparkling water and a pinch of salt. 2. Start incorporating the flour gradually, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until you get a consistent dough. It should be slightly elastic but not sticky. 3. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for about 15 minutes. This will help relax the gluten and make the dough much easier to roll out. 4. After resting, knead the dough again for a few minutes until smooth. Preparing the filling: 1. In another bowl, mix the sweet cheese with the eggs, sugar, raisins, lemon zest, and lemon essence. Make sure the cheese is well crushed and homogenized to avoid lumps in the filling. 2. Add the semolina to the mixture; this will help absorb any excess moisture the cheese may release. Assembling the pie: 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roll out half of the dough into a thin sheet, then place it in a greased baking tray with a little oil or margarine. 2. Sprinkle a thin layer of semolina over the sheet to absorb the cheese juice. 3. Pour the cheese filling over the semolina, smoothing it out with a spatula. 4. Roll out the other half of the dough and cover the filling. Use a fork to make patterns on the edge of the dough, preventing it from opening during baking. Baking: 1. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until golden on top. 2. After baking, let the pie cool in the tray before cutting it. This will help stabilize the filling and make portioning easier. Serving and variations: Dust the pie with powdered sugar before serving for an attractive appearance and an extra touch of sweetness. This recipe can be customized by adding a splash of vanilla to the filling or replacing the raisins with candied cherries for a different taste. Enjoy the sweet cheese pie alongside a cup of tea or coffee for a perfect dessert that will bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones. It is a treat that keeps well and can even be enjoyed the next day, if it lasts that long!
