Step cooking
In 3 bowls pour 3 tsp. gelatin in each, add 25 ml of cold water to each portion of gelatin and leave to swell.
Sand base
- In a blender bowl we place 150 g of shortbread cookies, after breaking it into pieces, and grind it into small crumbs.
- Melt in a water bath 100 g of butter, pour it into the blender bowl to the sand crumbs and mix again with the blender.
- Pour the resulting crumb into a baking dish with a diameter of 20 cm, level it with a tablespoon and thoroughly tamp the layer.
- We put the form with the base in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Curd Souffle
- We place 800 g of cottage cheese in a blender bowl, 6 tbsp. l sugar, 1 tsp. vanillin and pour 200 ml of cream, after which everything is whipped with a blender into a homogeneous smooth mass.
- We spread the cottage cheese in 3 bowls, dividing it into 3 equal parts, then put 2 parts in the refrigerator for a while.
- In the left part, add 3-4 drops of red gel food coloring and thoroughly stir with a whisk until a uniform saturated color is obtained.
- We melt in a steam bath one portion of the already swollen gelatin, pour it in a thin stream into a red souffle and mix thoroughly with a whisk until smooth.
- We take out the form from the refrigerator, pour the resulting mass onto the base, level it, shaking it slightly, and place the form in the freezer for 5-10 minutes until the curd layer solidifies a little.
- We take out the second portion of the curd mass from the refrigerator, add 3 drops of pink gel food coloring to it and mix it well with a whisk.
- In a steam bath we dissolve the swollen gelatin in the second bowl, pour it into a pink mass with a trickle and stir until smooth. When 5-10 minutes have passed, we take out our form from the freezer, and on a slightly frozen red layer we spread a layer of pink mass, carefully level it with a tablespoon and again send it to the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
- We take out the last part of the curd mass from the refrigerator, add 2 drops of a pale pink food coloring and stir with a whisk until a uniform color is obtained. In a water bath, melt the gelatin in the third bowl, pour a stream into the curd mass and stir with a whisk until smooth.
- As soon as 5-10 minutes pass, we take out the form and spread on the pink layer the remaining pale pink curd mass, straighten it with a tablespoon again and again send the form to the freezer.
Berry jelly
- Pour 25 ml of cold water the remaining 2 tsp. gelatin and leave to swell.
- In a liter pan, place 150 g of fresh or frozen strawberries, fall asleep 3 tbsp. l sugar and send them to boil over medium heat, periodically stirring with a spoon. When the mixture boils, reduce the heat to a minimum, and cook the strawberry mixture for 5 minutes.
- Pour the hot strawberry mixture into the blender bowl and grind it in mashed potatoes.
- Grind the berry puree through a sieve to remove seeds from it.
- Add the swollen gelatin to the still hot mashed potatoes and stir with a teaspoon until the gelatin dissolves.
- Cool the strawberry mixture to a slightly warm state. We take our cheesecake out of the freezer and pour berry jelly on top of it.
- We close the form with cling film and send the cake in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours.
- We get the shape, carefully draw it with the knife along the walls to separate the layers from the ring without damaging them, and remove the shape.
- Using 2 shovels, transfer the finished cheesecake to a dish, cut into portions with a hot knife, put a piece on a dessert plate and serve.
