Recipe

2. Ingredients
For the shortcrust pastry
1. 200 grams of flour
2. 130 grams of cornstarch
3. 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda
4. 1 pinch of salt
5. 100 grams of sugar
6. 1 medium-sized egg
7. 1 medium egg yolk
8. 150 grams of butter cold and in pieces
For the curd cheese mass
1. 750 grams of curd cheese, preferably 20% fat (you can
order it online if you don’t find it in the market near you)
2. 4 medium-sized eggs
3. 2 teaspoons of grated lemon peel
4. 200 grams of sugar
5. 2 packets of vanilla pudding powder for cooking
6. 100 milliliters of sunflower oil
7. 300 milliliters of milk

3. Preparation

4. 1. First, prepare the curd cheese by draining it to make it a little drier. To
do this, line a sieve, add the curd and put it over the sink or over a bowl.
2. Prepare the shortcrust pastry. Place the flour, cornstarch, baking
powder, salt and sugar in a bowl for the dough. Add the eggs and the
cold butter in flakes and knead with dough hooks and finally with the
hands to a homogeneous dough. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film
and chill for around 30 minutes.

5. 3. Prepare the springform by greasing it with butter and then dusting it
with flour. Preheat the oven at 170 degrees top and bottom heat. Roll
out the shortcrust pastry with a rolling pin. Line the bottom of the
springform pan with dough and pull up an edge. To do this, either roll
out the dough sheet so large that it is enough for the edge. Or form a
roll from part of the dough, place it on the short pastry base at the edge
of the mold and form a high edge with your fingers. Prick the pastry
base several times with a fork so that the shortcrust pastry doesn’t puff
up.

6. 4. For the cheesecake mixture, stir the eggs with the sugar until
frothy. Stir in drained curd cheese. Mix in the lemon zest, custard
powder, oil, and milk as well so that no pieces are visible. The mass
has to be quite fluid.
5. Pour the cheesecake mixture onto the short pastry base in the
mold. Place the cake on the bottom shelf in the oven. The cake must
bake for a total of approx. 60 to 70 minutes.
