Those who have been to Lviv probably know that Lviv cheesecake is recognized as the hallmark of the city's cuisine - a very characteristic, unique, memorable dessert. Many connoisseurs of delicious food and just tourists have tried this amazing dish in cozy atmospheric Lviv cafes, stylish restaurants and cozy eateries. This is a wonderful cottage cheese dessert - juicy, tender, refined. But it turns out that you can cook it yourself at home, and the technological process is not particularly complicated.
The uniqueness of this dessert is that, after cooling and steeping, it becomes even more wet and juicy. During the baking process, the product rises strongly, but then settles. I recommend taking fat cottage cheese, because the lower the fat content, the drier the syrnik will be. In addition, these pastries are not only tasty, but also healthy, because it is rich in calcium and other beneficial substances.
Lviv cheesecake is an excellent option for breakfast. Moreover, it is for breakfast and it is worth planning it, because before use, it must be kept in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours. Otherwise, it will simply fall apart. Therefore, cook it in the evening and enjoy it in the morning.

Step-by-step preparation of Lviv cheesecake, recipe with photo:
1. Separate the whites from the yolks. Place the squirrels in a clean, dry container and set aside while you work with the other ingredients.
2. Add sugar to the yolks. You can adjust its amount to your liking. If you like sweets, then add sugar, otherwise you can reduce it to a minimum. Beat the yolks with a mixer until fluffy and increase in volume by 2-3 times.
3. Place the butter in a bowl.
4. In a water bath or in a microwave oven, melt the butter, but do not bring it to a boil, just enough for it to become a liquid consistency.
5. Wash the raisins and cover with hot water. If you wish, you can soak it in cognac or any other alcoholic beverage.
6. Add semolina with baking soda and a pinch of salt to the whipped yolks.
7. Pour in the melted butter.
8. And lay out all the curd. If it is very watery, then first hang it in gauze so that all the liquid is glass.
9. Beat the food well with a blender until smooth to break up all the curd lumps. Leave it to stand for 15-20 minutes for the semolina to swell. If there is no blender, then grind the cottage cheese through a fine iron sieve. Do this procedure 2-3 times. Then add raisins to the mass and mix.
10. By this time, beat the whites with a mixer until a white, airy and stable foam forms.
11. Combine proteins and curd mass.
12. Stir the dough with slow movements in one direction so that the proteins do not fall off and retain their airiness.
13. Line a baking dish with parchment paper, pour out the dough and smooth it out.
14. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send the cake to bake for 40 minutes. In this case, do not open the oven for the first half hour so that the product does not fall off.
15. Remove the finished cake from the oven, but do not take it out of the mold, leave it in it until it cools completely, otherwise the cake may break. Then remove it from the oven and put it on a dish.
16. Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a deep bowl.
17. Melt it in a water bath or in a microwave oven, but make sure that the product does not boil, otherwise it will acquire a bitterness that cannot be removed.
