Cream Cheese Pie with Frosting

Ingredients

For the dough:

1.5 cups butter

250 g cream cheese

3 cups sugar

6 eggs

3 cups flour

1/8 tsp salt

1 tbsp vanilla extract

For the glaze:

300 g powdered sugar

5 tbsp milk

2 tsp vanilla extract

Berries

Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) and prepare a pie pan by dusting it with flour. The recipe photo uses a 25 cm hollow pan; you can use a regular pan of approximately the same size.

Beat the cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium speed until smooth, gradually adding the sugar, beating until light and fluffy.

Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix the flour and salt and gradually add them to the mixture, whisking continuously but at low speed. Add the vanilla extract, mix well, and turn off the mixer.

Pour the batter evenly into the pan and bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Test the cake with a toothpick; it should come out clean when inserted. Once the cake is baked, remove it and let it cool for 15 minutes.

Whisk all the ingredients together until the icing is thick and doesn't drip down the sides of the cake. If you prefer a thinner icing, add about 2 tablespoons of milk.

Note: This icing makes enough for a nice thick layer. If you prefer a thinner layer, use half the ingredients. Then, brush the icing over the cake and let it sit for 5-15 minutes.

Enjoy!
