The best option is to make a charlotte with kefir and jamThis will make the pie very tasty, tender, and beautiful, making it much fluffier. The fermented milk product can always be replaced with yogurt, sour cream, or curdled milk.

If add not only jam, but apples, and baked goods won't be ruined either. The main thing is that the berries or fruits added to the dough pair well with each other. But I'll leave that rich field of experimentation to you.

Charlotte with jam

Ingredients

Servings

Kefir

200 ml
Jam

200 ml
Soda

1 tsp
Sugar

70 G
Egg C1

2 pcs
Flour

300 G

Preparation

Step 1

Place the jam in a bowl, add baking soda and mix well.

Step 2

Let it sit for 5 minutes. During this time, the mixture will turn white and increase in volume, which is normal.

Step 3

Add sugar and kefir, add eggs and beat. Then add sifted flour in small portions and mix well.

Step 4

Line a baking pan with parchment paper and grease the edges with butter. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface.

Step 5

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 1 hour. If the surface of the charlotte starts to burn, cover with foil and continue baking. Test for doneness with a toothpick: if it comes out clean, the charlotte is ready.

Step 6

The jam-filled charlotte is ready. Let it cool completely in the pan, remove it, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into portions and serve with tea or coffee.

Similar video recipe: Apricot Jam Pie

Olga Matvey has a wonderful charlotte recipe. In the video, she uses apricot jam, which, when combined with raisins, creates a delightful sweet and sour flavor combination. But if you only have cherry, raspberry, or pear jam left, feel free to use them for the pie.

Pay special attention to the part where Olga adds baking soda to the jam. This little life hack helps make thick preserves a little softer without a blender or mixer. This makes them easier to combine with other ingredients.

The consistency of the fruit base can vary. Thicker jams should be pureed with an immersion blender or chopped with a knife into pieces that will look beautiful in the pie. It's also better to chop the fruit pieces in the jam, or use only syrup if you don't like candied fruit fillings.
