• If the curd mass is too thick and is difficult to spread on layers of cookies, dilute it with a small amount of fat sour cream or cream.
• The amount of added sugar can vary, it all depends on the taste of the cottage cheese, or rather, how acidic it is.
• Do not place a cake of cookies and cottage cheese immediately in the refrigerator, let it stand for a while at room temperature so that the cookies are better soaked.
• The number of biscuits in the recipes, indicated on the basis of the "drawing" of the future sweet structure. If you choose a rather crumbly variety, or just are not completely sure of your experience - take it with a margin so that you do not have to build a "House" of debris.
