| Ingredients:
400g homemade
tvorog,
(ricotta cheese or quark can be used as
a substitution, or in combination, but must be
well drained and dry).
125g soft butter.
100g sugar.
1/2 tsp vanilla essence.
1/2 tsp salt.
3 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp semolina.
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp cinnamon.

Method:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
C.
Beat the softened butter with the
sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla essence, salt
and beaten eggs. Mix well. Add the soft cheese
and mix to combine. Finally stir in the semolina,
lemon juice and cinnamon.
Pour the mixture into a well greased
baking dish, which you can also coat with biscuit
crumbs if you wish. Put a thin layer of water
on the top of the mixture to help prevent the
cheesecake from cracking and burning as it cooks.
Bake for 35 minutes, keeping an
eye on it to ensure the top and sides don't burn.
If the cake starts to go brown on the top too
early in the cooking process, reduce the oven
temperature slightly.
Set the cheesecake
aside to cool before serving.
Serving
Delicious warm or cold, on
its own.
