What does this mean?

The absolute favourite of my hubby-to-be, because it has a lot of cottage cheese and the top is so refreshing and fruity!

Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures

For the cheesecake

  • 6 medium egg yolks
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 5 grams baking powder
  • 100 ml oil
  • 6 medium egg whites (beaten)

For the cream

  • 500 grams cottage cheese
  • 250 grams butter
  • 250 grams icing sugar

For the topping

  • 2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
  • 2 packets french vanilla pudding mix
  • lemonade (or fizzy drink of your choice)

Method

  1. Stir the egg yolks with the sugar. Then mix the flour, baking powder and cocoa in a separate bowl and add to the yolk-sugar mixture. 
  2. Stir well and add the oil bit by bit (very slowly, indeed). Then add the beaten egg whites and stir gently without breaking it too much. 
  3. Put it in a baking pan with baking paper (about 35cmX25cm) and bake on 180C. It's ready if you put in a toothpick and no batter sticks to it. 
  4. For the cream, stir the soft butter with the icing sugar and add the cottage cheese. Spread on the top of the cool cake. 
  5. To make the top, pour the fizzy drink in a pot, add the sugar and the pudding and stir and boil until it's jelly-like. 
  6. Wait until it's almost cool and spread on top of the cottage cheese. Put in the fridge for 1-2 hours until the jelly freezes.
