Ingredients
  

For the cottage cheese filling
  • 500 g homemade cottage cheese
  • 3 eggs
  • 80 g sugar
  • 10 g vanilla sugar

  • 75 g butter melted
  • 12 g cornstarch
  • salt, vanillin pinch each
  • raspberries, blueberries, cranberries optional, to taste
For the glaze
  • 70 g dark chocolate
  • 10 g vegetable oil neutral

Method
 

  1. Put the cottage cheese in a bowl, add the sugar, vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt, the yogurt (or sour cream) and the melted butter. Blend everything with an immersion blender until smooth.
  2. Add the cornstarch and mix by hand with a spatula, then add the eggs one at a time - the batter is ready.
  3. Line a rectangular 22x12 cm pan with parchment, pour in half the batter, scatter the berries on top and cover with the second half of the batter.
  4. Bake at 150-160 C for 50 to 60 minutes, then let cool completely and remove from the pan.

  6. Refrigerate the syrnyk overnight - it's ready to serve in the morning!
