Although the name "cheesecake" has only recently come into use among Russian culinary circles, this dish has existed under various names for a very long time. The word itself comes from English and means "cheese pie." This delicacy was extremely popular in Europe and later migrated to America with the first settlers, where it took root and became practically a national dish. Every American housewife knows the recipe for cheesecake in a slow cooker today.

Today, both the West and the East strive to prepare this dessert. This delicacy has become synonymous with sophistication and exceptional hospitality, and it occupies a prominent place on holiday tables. In Russia, the dish has been known since the 13th century: it is known as "cheese (or curd) loaf." The ancestors of cheese pie were vatrushki (curd cakes), syrniki (syrniki), and zapekanki (casseroles).

Let's see how you can prepare this treat in a modern home setting.

This cottage cheese pie, made in a slow cooker, is tender and almost airy. For the recipe, you'll need:

  • 0.8-1 kg of cottage cheese;
  • 5 eggs;
  • 0.2 kg sour cream;
  • a glass of sugar;
  • 3 tablespoons potato starch;
  • 0.2 kg cookies;
  • a pinch of vanillin;
  • 0.125 kg butter.

This amount of ingredients should make 10-12 servings.

Method of preparation:

  1. To make the crust, crush the cookies in a blender or mortar and mix them with butter. The mixture should be smooth and sticky.
  2. Next, you need to put the mixture into the mold and carefully press the bottom and edges, using a spoon or just your hands.
  3. Strain the cottage cheese through a sieve and place it in a designated bowl. Add sour cream, sugar, vanilla, starch, and egg yolks to the curd layer. Blend all ingredients in a blender.
  4. At the same time, beat the egg whites with sugar and then add them to the cottage cheese mixture, stirring in a blender.
  5. Form the resulting mixture into a curd crust and place the pie in the multicooker for 80 minutes on the "Bake" setting. Once the program is complete, it's recommended to leave the dish in the multicooker for another hour and a half.
