For the German poppy seed pie with cottage cheese, we will prepare the products according to the list.
In the sifted flour, add sugar and cold butter, grated or cut into small pieces.
Quickly grind the contents of the container with your hands to fine crumbs.
Line a springform pan with a diameter of 24 cm with parchment paper. Pour 2/3 of the resulting crumb into it, tightly tamp it with your hands. There is no need to make sides in this pie. We remove the form in the refrigerator and take on the preparation of the filling.
Pour milk into a saucepan, add sugar and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring from time to time.
We remove the pan from the stove, pour poppy seeds and semolina into it, mix and let it brew for 10 minutes.
During this time, you will need to mix the mixture 2 more times.
We spread the cottage cheese in a bowl, drive in the egg, pour in the vanillin (at the tip of the knife).
Blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
We combine the curd mass with poppy seeds, mix until the mixture is homogeneous.
We take out the form with the cake from the refrigerator, evenly distribute the filling.
Sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top. We put the form in an oven preheated to 180 degrees, on the middle shelf. We bake for an hour.
German poppy seed cake with cottage cheese is ready. Let it cool completely, take it out of the mold and cut it.
Poppy "National" I bought not because he was some kind of special. It's just that it is on sale everywhere, including in your favorite Lenta. Packing of 150 grams attracts - just such an amount is required for a favorite cake - German poppy curd. Actually, this is the only dish where I use poppy seeds.
There are no complaints about the "National" - the poppy seed is whole, clean, without impurities. And apparently without opium. Yes, yes, opium poppy and confectionery poppy are one and the same! The difference is only in the degree of maturation of the seeds - drug addicts need green ones, and bakers need mature ones.
I like that the packaging is transparent - you can evaluate the quality of the product.
The only thing I don't like is the cost. The price for 150 g is above 100 rubles. I confess that by the time this review was written, I had stopped buying packaged poppy seeds. Now I take it at a price of 19 rubles per 100 g (!). Not a bad difference, right? Bulk poppy is not easy to find, but it is very useful for the family budget. I buy it through a group on a social network selling nuts and dried fruits. I also take coconut flakes, sesame seeds and other confectionery bells and whistles there.
As usual, the components must be mixed. The trick is to keep the butter from melting. I cut off the right amount from the pack, cut it into small cubes and put it in the refrigerator. I put a bowl in which the sifted flour and sugar are mixed in the refrigerator. If you have a coffee grinder, turn sugar into powder! will be even better.
Grind flour, sugar and cold butter.
The first time I was very surprised - shortcrust pastry did not work out, but crumbly crumbs turned out. That's how it should be! do not add egg or water. While preparing the filling - the crumb is in the refrigerator.
Milk with sugar and butter is brought to a boil. Turn off the gas, add poppy seeds and semolina. Here attention: poppy must be prepared in advance. The rash is not dry from the bag, but steamed in advance with boiling water.
To avoid lumps, I constantly beat the liquid with a blender whisk and at the same time add semolina. It’s easier with poppy seeds, it doesn’t stick together in lumps, you can just mix it with a spoon after it. We leave the mass to cool for half an hour, it will thicken very much due to semolina. In the finished cake, semolina is not felt, no one will guess!
So why is the pie called cottage cheese? We take cottage cheese:
1. the fatter, the tastier, but it’s rarely possible to buy 9%, but don’t take less than 5% at all
2. we choose empirically without pronounced grains, otherwise they will be felt in the filling. Wipe the cottage cheese through a sieve - you gore!
Beat a pack of cottage cheese with an egg. Combine the curd mass with semolina, mix thoroughly (it is convenient to do it with a blender, purifying nozzle)
The crumb is divided into two unequal parts. We tamp most of it to the bottom of the mold. She rams well. Do not try to make bumpers. Take a detachable form.
Pour the filling into the mold. Sprinkle the remaining dough crumbs on top. Send to a preheated oven (180-200 C) for 1 hour or more, until blush.
In the process of baking, the filling swells and rises. This is normal)) It will fall back when it cools down. It is very important to let the cake cool down calmly, then the filling will harden. I usually make it in the evening, planning to eat it the next day.
So far there hasn't been a person who wouldn't like this cake! True, all tasters initially said that they love poppy seeds.
Enjoy your meal!

How to make German poppy curd:
In a small saucepan, combine milk, butter and granulated sugar, bring to a boil over high heat, not forgetting to stir from time to time.
In the meantime, while the mixture is heating up, pour semolina into the blender bowl along with poppy seeds and grind at high speeds. In principle, this operation can be omitted.
Pour the mixture of poppy seeds and semolina into the boiled sweet milk slurry, mix immediately, close the lid and leave to infuse (so that the bulk ingredients are saturated with moisture).
In the meantime, pour the flour into a bowl, throw the margarine cut into pieces into it and grind it into crumbs.
Then add sugar to it, mix. The base is ready.
We combine the cottage cheese in a blender bowl with eggs and grind into a homogeneous paste without lumps.
Combine it with the milk-poppy mixture, mix well.
Sprinkle the bottom of the silicone mold (or any other covered with parchment) with butter-flour crumbs (half or 2/3).
Spread the poppy-curd filling on top. The size of my mold is 21x21 cm, height 4 cm. The entire volume of the filling was not included in it, so I took an additional 2 silicone molds for muffins (portioned cottage cheese with poppy seeds is also a great option).
We close the filling with the remains of the crumbs and place the molds in the oven (of course, preheated to the temperature we need).
We bake the cottage cheese at 190 ° C for 60 minutes. Let the finished cake cool slightly, and only then carefully remove it from the mold and place it on a dish.
