Ingredients

Cheesecake:

  • 500 g farmer cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 100 g sweetener (or a little more)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 50 g dried berries
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 orange
  • 20 g butter

Glaze:

  • 50 g chocolate (80% cocoa or more)
  • 50 ml heavy cream
  • 30 g sweetener (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. While it is heating up, whisk eggs and sugar into a thick foam.
  • Add the farmer cheese and vanilla. Mix it thoroughly. If necessary, use an immersion blender - you should get a solid, glossy mass, like cream.
  • Grate on a fine grater the zest of one lemon and one orange. Add it to the cheese mass. Also, send some berries there. Gently mix it. 
  • Grease a 9.5" by 5" cake pan with butter and pour the mass into it. Put the mold in a water bath and put it into the oven. After 40 minutes, start checking to see if it is ready. It usually takes an hour to bake.
  • Turn off the oven. Do not take out the cheesecake - let it stand for another 20 minutes. Then take it out and leave it in its mold until it cools down completely. After that, take it out carefully, cover it with foil and put it in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or better yet, longer.
  • After that, take out the cheesecake. Then melt 50 grams of chocolate in a saucepan, add 50 ml of heavy cream, stir thoroughly and do not bring it to a boil. Glaze the cold cheesecake.
