In summer, when it’s hot outside, I don’t want to turn on the oven at all, I cook sweets without baking. And this caramel cheesecake, with cottage cheese and boiled condensed milk, is a favorite in our family.
Ingredients
Shortbread cookies – 250 g
Butter – 160 g
Fat cottage cheese – 750 g
Boiled condensed milk (caramel) – 300 g
Roasted nuts (peanuts or walnuts) – 50 g
Gelatin – 30 g
Water – 70 g
Directions
Pour gelatin with warm water, set aside for swelling.
Grind the cookies into crumbs in any way convenient for you (with a rolling pin, in a blender, on a grater, etc.)
Melt the butter, let cool.
Mix cookies with chopped nuts and butter.
Lay out in a split mold with a diameter of 22 cm (cover the bottom with parchment beforehand). Tamp with a spoon or hands into a tight rimmed cake layer. Place in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
With a blender, beat the cottage cheese and caramel (boiled condensed milk).
By that time, the gelatin will swell. Warm it up in a water bath until it is completely dissolved.
Add a little curd mass to slightly warm gelatinous water, mix. And then add this mass to a blender with the remaining curd mass, mix until smooth.
Pour the curd mass onto the chilled crust and place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
