Grated tart made from shortbread and curd dough with custard, as expected, is at the same time tiny and tender, and literally melts in your mouth. This is a rather unusual cake, because in addition to flour and butter, cottage cheese is added to the shortbread dough. It gives additional tenderness and the product does not get stale for longer. The filling is also interesting in this pie. Usually they make it apple, but it can be different. The custard-filled pie is reminiscent of the taste of Napoleon cake. Therefore, it can truly become a solemn dessert that will delight guests and households. In addition, it is necessary to spend a lot of time on baking festive Napoleon in order to surprise guests with an unusual treat. And this cake is prepared very simply with minimal effort and time. It does not require any special cooking skills. Baking is not troublesome, and the necessary products can be bought at the nearest supermarket. At the same time, the taste of the product is not inferior to the eminent cake.

Another beauty of homemade baking is that it does not contain dyes or preservatives, unlike industrial confectionery. Such a cake can be given to children and be sure that the yummy will benefit. In addition, due to the presence of cottage cheese in the dough, the baked goods are even more useful, because rich in calcium, which strengthens bone tissue.

If there is no processor, knead the dough with your hands. To do this, grate the butter on a coarse grater, and grind the cottage cheese through a fine sieve. Combine the products with flour and quickly knead the dough. Shortbread dough does not like long kneading and contact with warm hands. So do everything quickly.

In order not to stain excess dishes, remove the beaters from the mixer and stir the mass with them. As soon as the first bubbles form on the surface of the cream, immediately remove the pan from the heat, otherwise the eggs will curl.

Leave the finished cream to cool first at room temperature, then in the refrigerator. It is very convenient to cook it in advance, for example, in the evening, and bake the pie the next day.
