Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make a no-bake farmer's cheese "house" cake from cookies and farmer's cheese? Gather the ingredients. For this cake, use fresh, full-fat, dry farmer's cheese - mine is 18% fat, but 9% will do. Also choose high-fat sour cream - 25-30%. Melt the butter ahead of time any way you like and cool it. You can skip the banana. I used "Baked Milk" cookies; you can use any shortbread, like "Yubileynoe." For the glaze, use milk or dark chocolate.
Step 2:

In a deep bowl, mix the farmer's cheese, the melted and cooled butter, the sour cream, the sugar, and the vanilla sugar. With a mixer or whisk, beat the mixture into a smooth, creamy mass. If your farmer's cheese is too grainy, blend the mixture. If you don't have a blender, push the cheese through a sieve.
Step 3:

Divide the cheese mixture into two parts and add cocoa to one. Stir until the ingredients are combined.
Step 4:

Take a sushi mat or a towel. Lay plastic wrap over it and arrange the cookies on top. The original recipe suggests dipping each cookie in warm milk (100 ml) and then laying it down, but when I tried that, all the cookies started falling apart in my hands, so I skipped that step. I used fewer cookies and ended up with a lot of filling, so don't make the same mistake - use 12.
Step 5:

Spread the white cheese mixture evenly over the layer of cookies.
Step 6:

On top of the white cheese mixture, spread the cocoa cheese mixture evenly.
Step 7:

Peel the banana, cut it in half lengthwise, and lay it cut side down on the cheese layer, centered down the middle.
Step 8:

Using the towel, fold the outer rows of cookies along the long sides in toward the middle. As you can see, I ended up with a bit too much filling, but at this stage the cake is still pliable and you can adjust its shape - use the wrap to form the cake into a house shape (a triangle in cross-section). Wrap the dessert in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to set for 4-12 hours; I left mine overnight.
Step 9:

Take the set dessert out of the fridge. Brush the top with melted chocolate and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
Step 10:

Slice and serve the farmer's cheese cake straight from the fridge - after sitting at room temperature for a bit, it loses its shape very quickly. Enjoy!

You can melt butter in the microwave on the appropriate setting (check your appliance's manual) or in a water bath. How do you melt butter properly in a water bath? You'll need two containers of different sizes. Pour water into the larger one and set it on the stove. Set the smaller container on top so it's submerged about halfway. Put the cut-up butter in it. The boiling water will melt the butter. Stir it a little to speed things up. As soon as the butter is fully melted, take the container off the stove.
