This pie captivates with its flavor and texture. A crisp, golden crust holds a dense, velvety, sweet filling of soft farmer's cheese. Brown sugar imparts not only sweetness but also a pleasant caramel note, perfectly complemented by a pinch of cardamom. Slice the pie when it's completely cool and the filling has set, and serve with orange marmalade.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Cake:

Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor and pulse until the butter is evenly distributed but still lumpy. Without stopping, add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is moist enough to hold together when squeezed between your fingers.
Place the dough on a piece of plastic wrap, shape into a disk and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 175°C. Roll out the dough into a 0.3 cm thick circle and then transfer it to a 22 cm pie pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Line the pan with foil and fill with dry beans or pie weights. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then remove the foil and weights and continue baking until the crust begins to darken, another 15 minutes.
Filling:

While the crust is baking, combine the farmer's cheese, brown sugar, and cardamom in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until fully incorporated. Add one egg at a time and beat on medium speed until fully incorporated before adding the next one. Stir in the heavy cream.
Fill the crust with the cheese filling and bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is just slightly jiggly, 45 minutes. Let cool and serve with orange marmalade.
