The butter must first be melted in a microwave oven or in a water bath.
Pour the butter, cooled to room temperature, carefully into the dough, along the edge of the dish. Mix again with a spatula.
Advice. Be sure to add butter, it will prevent the biscuit from being dry.
Grease the mold with butter (I use silicone, but you can use any other).
Pour half of the biscuit dough into the mold and distribute evenly.
Then spread the halva over the surface of the dough and fill it with the remaining dough.
We send the form with the dough to the oven, preheated to 180 degrees. Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes (depend on your oven).
You can check the readiness of the pie for the first time no earlier than after 30 minutes, otherwise the pie may settle.
Cool the finished pie in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then remove and serve.
Sweet pie goes well with great raspberry cocktails.

Shortbread pie with cottage cheese and halva

I found an unusual recipe on the Internet, but as always, I made my own adjustments, as a result I should have gotten a cheesecake with halva, but it turned out to be a pie, since I didn’t use cookie crumbs, but shortbread dough, which, by the way, I had lying around in the freezer. The shortbread crust turned out to be crumbly and beautiful, and the filling of cottage cheese and halva was very unusual.

Here it is important to wait until the cake has cooled completely and only then can you cut it. But because I was impatient to try the unusual cake, I cut it within half an hour after removing it from the oven. Overall, the filling didn't set very well and we had to eat it with a spoon. And the next morning the pie had already cooled completely, and could be easily cut, and the filling was frozen, like in a real cheesecake. So be patient while baking this sweet cake and while the oriental aromas of halva waft through the house.

eggs - 120 g or 3 pcs.

Cupcake with halva

Attention! It is best to prepare such a cake in a mold without a middle, because the center may not be baked. You can also add nuts, seeds, and dried fruits along with the halva.

Cooking process:

First, let's prepare the shortbread dough. To do this, grind the softened margarine with granulated sugar and then add the cooled eggs. Mix everything thoroughly. Dissolve baking soda in a small cup and then add to the dough. Stir. Next, add sifted flour until the dough takes.

Now you need to wrap the dough in cling film or a bag and put it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

At this time, let's prepare the filling. I used a food processor to prepare the filling. Place the halva, cut into pieces, into the processor bowl.

Then add cottage cheese and sour cream, mix everything thoroughly, I used a knife attachment. Then you can add sugar, but it seemed to me that it would be completely unnecessary here, although I love sweets, but cloying is already too much.

You can use any sour cream, it doesn’t matter here. I would also like to advise adding one egg to the filling, which must first be beaten with a mixer or whisk. This way the filling will harden faster and the pie won’t need to be refrigerated for as long.

Roll out the cooled dough into a thin layer. Now again, one point that I will now take into account: you must definitely cover the baking dish with either paper or foil, since the cake cannot be turned over, and it is simply impossible to remove it. Or, alternatively, use a springform pan.
