Ingredients:

Tnuva Maadanot Frozen Rolled Dough for Sweet Pastries, thawed according to package directions

Filling:
1 container Tnuva Premium Cheese Spread, Original Flavor
1 container Tnuva Quark Soft Cheese 5%
1/3 cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Dash salt
3 eggs
¼ cup flour

Topping:
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 ⁰F. Grease a 10” springform pan. Prepare a floured surface and roll out the dough very thinly to a few inches more than the circumference of the pan. Transfer the dough to the pan and press down and up the sides, cutting away any excess. Prick with a fork all around and put in the freezer for half an hour.
2. Remove the pan from the freezer, and cover the bottom of the crust with a piece of baking paper. Cover with baking weights or dry beans and blind bake for 15 minutes.
3. Remove the weights or beans and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the crust is light brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 300 ⁰F.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and mix well. Add the eggs one after the other, beating between each addition. Add the flour and mix well. Pour into the baked crust and even out the top.
5. Bake for 12-18 minutes, until the edges start to set but the center is still soft. Remove from the oven and turn off the heat.
6. For the topping, put the sour cream and powdered sugar and in a small bowl and mix together. Pour over the hot pie and spread evenly. Put back into the turned-off oven for 5 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and put immediately into the fridge. Chill for at least 6-7 hours.
8. Combine the sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Serve.
