This cake, often called “Himalaya” slices<\/strong> or Himalaya Cheesecake<\/strong>, is a true classic! It gets its name from the striking contrast between the dark, cocoa-rich base and the “snow-capped” peaks of grated dough on top of the towering white cottage cheese layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a foolproof recipe for this majestic dessert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf6b Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the Cocoa Dough:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 400 g all-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 250 g cold butter or margarine<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 150 g powdered sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3 tbsp dark cocoa powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 packet (10-12 g) baking powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 egg yolk<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1-2 tbsp sour cream (just enough to bring the dough together)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    For the Cottage Cheese Filling:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 750 g cottage cheese (pressed “t\u00far\u00f3” style, crumbled\/mashed)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 200 g powdered sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 packet vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp extract)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 3 egg yolks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 4 egg whites (whipped into stiff peaks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Zest of 1 lemon<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tbsp cornstarch or semolina (to absorb moisture)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Preparation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Prepare the Dough:<\/strong> Mix the flour, baking powder, cocoa, and powdered sugar. Rub in the cold butter until crumbly. Add the egg yolk and sour cream, then knead quickly into a smooth dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. The Chilling Secret:<\/strong> Divide the dough into two parts (60% and 40%<\/strong>). Wrap them in plastic. Put the larger piece in the fridge and the smaller piece in the freezer<\/strong> for about 30-40 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Make the Filling:<\/strong> Mix the cottage cheese with the sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, starch, and 3 egg yolks. Finally, gently fold in the 4 stiffly beaten egg whites to keep it airy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Assembly:<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Preheat your oven to 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Roll out the larger piece of dough and place it in a greased\/floured baking tray (standard rectangular size).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Spread the cottage cheese cream evenly over the base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Take the frozen dough and grate it<\/strong> using a large-hole grater over the top of the white cream. These are your “Himalayan peaks.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Baking:<\/strong> Bake for 30-35 minutes<\/strong>. Let it cool completely in the pan\u2014the filling needs time to set!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          \u2728 Serving Suggestion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Once cooled, dust the top with a little powdered sugar. It will look like fresh snow has just fallen on your chocolate mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Would you like me to help you adjust the quantities for a specific tray size, or are you looking for a lower-sugar version?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
