Recipe with photos step by step:
1. Peel the pumpkin and cut into cubes. Transfer to a saucepan and add a little water (to cover the squash). Place on the fire and from the moment it boils, cook the pumpkin for 10-15 minutes until it becomes soft. Place the boiled pumpkin in a sieve (colander) to drain excess liquid. Cool it to room temperature.
2. While the pumpkin is cooling, prepare the pie dough. To do this, mix the eggs with sugar in a bowl and beat with a whisk.
3. Then add sour cream and softened butter. Also beat with a whisk or mixer until all the ingredients are mixed and the mass becomes homogeneous.
4. At the end, add the sifted wheat flour and baking powder. Knead into a soft, smooth and elastic dough. Roll into a ball, wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
5. Grease a baking dish with butter (bottom and sides) and sprinkle with flour. Roll out the dough into a round cake and transfer to the mold. Press well and form high sides.
6. For the pumpkin filling, mix the cooled boiled pumpkin with sugar and starch.
7. Using a blender, grind (beat) until smooth. Add cinnamon and vanilla extract if desired.

Bon appetit!
We suggest you prepare a pumpkin and cottage cheese pie in the oven. You can prepare baked goods for tea very quickly. Thanks to this filling, the pie turns out very juicy, soft and amazingly aromatic!
Despite the large number of ingredients, this pie is prepared very quickly and simply. The shortbread dough, which serves as the basis of the pie, is kneaded in just 5 minutes. But if you don’t want to bother with dough, you can make a pie with cottage cheese and pumpkin without it. Then instead of a pie you will get a tender and fragile casserole.
To make the pie even more beautiful and elegant, it is better to use pumpkin with bright orange flesh. Butternut squash is ideal for this; it not only has a beautiful color, but also unique taste and aroma. Prepare it too, it turns out very tasty.
Ingredients:
Dough:
Pumpkin filling:
Curd filling:
For cooking shortcrust pastry Combine butter, sugar and flour sifted with salt. The butter should be cold and should not be removed from the refrigerator in advance or melted.
Using a fork, grind the prepared ingredients into homogeneous crumbs.
Break one egg and separate the yolk from the white. Add the yolk to the main mixture. We will use the protein when preparing the filling.
Knead the stiff dough with several movements. You cannot knead the shortbread dough for a long time. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Now let's make the pumpkin filling. Peel the pumpkin and cut into medium cubes.
Place the pumpkin in a small saucepan and add about 1/3 cup water. Cover the pan with a lid and boil the pumpkin for about 15 minutes. Then drain the water and cool the pumpkin.
Add a little sugar, starch and one egg to the cooled pumpkin.
Using an immersion blender, blend the pumpkin until smooth. The pumpkin filling is ready.
For the curd filling, combine cottage cheese, sugar, vanillin, starch and two chicken eggs. Add the remaining protein here.
Also using a blender, beat the cottage cheese until pureed. It should be uniform and without grains. The cottage cheese filling is ready.
Grease the baking dish vegetable oil. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and spread it over the bottom of the pan with your hands. We also make small sides.
Place two tablespoons of curd filling in the center of the dough.
Place two spoons of pumpkin filling in the center of the curd filling.
Thus, alternating each other, lay out all the filling.
Delicate, light, moderately sweet, with a pleasant aroma of juicy pumpkin - this curd pie with marble filling will outshine even the most exquisite cake!
Another priceless advantage of our open pie is that it is prepared from the simplest and most inexpensive ingredients, which means you don’t need to run headlong through the shops looking for unfamiliar problematic ingredients.

1. Butter and eggs should be at room temperature.
2. The recipe uses cane sugar, which gives a light caramel color to the cake. If there is no such sugar, take ordinary white sugar.
3. Do you want the pie to be as dietary as possible? Use low-fat cottage cheese, the taste will not be affected.
4. The amount of sugar for fillings can be adjusted to your taste.
5. Important: both fillings must be at the same temperature, otherwise the pie will not bake well.

How to make cottage cheese pie with pumpkin:
1. Peel the pumpkin and cut into small cubes. Boil in water or steam until soft, checking with a fork.
2. For the dough, combine eggs and sugar.
Whisk for 1 minute. The sugar should be almost completely dissolved. But don’t be overzealous, we don’t need steep peaks!
Add softened butter and sour cream, mix with a whisk into a homogeneous mass.
If the oil has not completely dispersed and small lumps of oil remain, it’s okay.
3. Sift the flour with baking powder and add to the egg-butter mixture. It is better to add flour gradually so that the dough does not turn out too thick.
Mix gently with a spoon.
4. Transfer the resulting mass to the table and knead into a soft dough that does not stick to your hands, adding flour as needed. The finished dough is soft, but not elastic. The consistency resembles mastic or children's plasticine. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film and refrigerate for 30-50 minutes.
5. For the pumpkin filling, peel and seed the apple and cut into small cubes. Add boiled pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon and starch.
Using an immersion blender, puree until smooth.
6. For the curd filling, combine cottage cheese, eggs, sour cream, sugar, starch and vanillin.
Make puree using a blender.
7. Back to the dough: use your hands to shape it into a ball and roll it out into a circle 7-9 mm thick.
8. Grease the mold with butter and spread the dough evenly, not forgetting to distribute it along the sides.
Place the filling in the center, alternating layers, as in the photo.
For convenience, you can use a soft silicone spatula, carefully leveling each layer.
9. Once both fillings are in, use your fingers to lower the sides of the pie a little.
10. Place the pie in the oven, preheated to 190°C, and after 10 minutes, reduce the temperature to 160-170°C. Bake for about 1 hour or until done, checking with a wooden stick to ensure it remains dry.
11. Leave the finished pie at room temperature until completely cool, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
