   Put the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

6. Step 6:

   Here's a stack of cakes I got.

10. Step 10:

    

    Make a cream. To do this, we will prepare cottage cheese, condensed milk and mascarpone.I have liquid cottage cheese. If you have dry cottage cheese, you need to grind it through a sieve and you can add 50 ml of cream.

    Put all the ingredients in the bowl of the mixer and whisk.

    Cream and mascarpone should be very cold. The whisk can be put in the freezer for a couple of hours. Then we put everything in the bowl of a mixer and whisk. Add powdered sugar immediately too. Someone may need more, I'm trying to taste. Not everyone likes too sweet.You can't kill the cream. Therefore, it is necessary to stop in time.
