Simpler than grated pie: peat cake with cottage cheese and cherries for tea

The best homemade dessert for tea is a pie. You can prepare them on different dough, from pita and on different flours and even from oat flakes. In winter, pies are best prepared with healthy berries, fruits, spices and nuts.

Method of preparation:

1. In a blender bowl pour flour, add sugar, salt, cocoa. Next, add cold butter, diced and chop everything into crumbs. If you don't have a blender, grate the butter and grind everything into crumbs with your hands.

2. To the cheese add sugar, vanilla, eggs, sour cream and beat everything with a blender (if not, then with a mixer, but it is better to rub the cheese through a sieve). Add the starch and mix thoroughly.
