From the described amounts of the ingredients it turns out a great pie. I got 2 - one for standard cupcake shape and a second small. You can divide the ingredients in half and get a cake of medium size. It is important to choose a good cheese, so it wasn't too dry or too wet. It is best to buy a home, sour curd with a uniform consistency. First you need to crush Mac. To do this, fill it with boiling water and allow to stand for 20 minutes. The water is then carefully drained off, and the poppy grind in a mortar or blender. Crushed poppy seeds add 2 tbsp. spoons of sugar.

Next you need to make shortcrust pie shell. For this mix the butter (70 g), sour cream, flour, 2-3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 egg, cocoa and 1 tsp of baking powder. Knead gentle, nekrutoe dough, which is even a little sticky and put it in the fridge to cool.

With lemon remove the zest and squeeze the juice. You put them together.

To prepare the curd mass, the curd is triturated in a blender with egg yolks and softened butter, leaving the grains. Should get a homogeneous mass. Then add starch, lemon zest with juice, 1 Cup sugar, vanilla, 2 teaspoons of baking powder and mix everything thoroughly. Separately beat the whites with 0.5 Cup of sugar and add them to the cheese mass, leaving 2 tbsp for poppy-seed filling. Gently beat in the whites.

2 tbsps of beaten egg whites added to the poppy filling.

Then the generated "floors". We take great shape, preferably with removable sides, laid a double layer of parchment paper (then in the form do not need to grease). On the bottom lay out a layer of dough, leveling it with a wet hand. The layer of dough should not exceed 1 see him pour half of the curd mass. Further, the center distributed poppy filling. Then pour the second half of the cottage cheese filling, starting from the edges to the Mac is not leaked to the sides.

Put the cheesecake in a preheated 180 degree oven. And then it all depends on the oven. My gas, usually her bottom burns and the top is poorly baked through, so I'm on the bottom shelf put in the extra pan. Bake for about 1.5 hours.

Bake until Golden top. Readiness check wooden stick.

While the pie cools, you need to prepare the chocolate glaze. On very low heat melt chocolate with a little milk. The glaze is applied on top.
