• My mother's rice pudding versus Cristina Oria's rice pudding

  • Old-fashioned cheesecake, in less than half an hour

What does Zarina's cheesecake have that conquers everyone?

That it is soft,

sweet in just the right measure,

fresh -perfect for the summer-, and that it has a special and characteristic semi-liquid finish that is decisive.

Zarina herself

-with her

real name

María Parejo-,

who is behind this pastry and savory brand, shares her star recipe ...

very easy and delicious.

Ingredients

For the base

  • 200 g of crushed biscuits

  • 130 g of cold butter

For the rest

  • 6 eggs

  • 850 g of Philadelphia cheese

  • 250g white sugar

  • 650 ml of whipping cream 38% MG

Ingredients by hand?

Ready ...

Preparation

First, you have to

line the base of a

removable 26 cm

mold with

greaseproof

paper.

The

cookies are

then crushed

and mixed with

the butter.

This mixture serves as a base and is placed in the mold, squeezed well with your fingers or a spoon, and put in the

freezer

to cool.

Meanwhile,

the remaining ingredients are mixed

in the mixer (or similar food processor), the result is added in the mold that we had in the freezer ...

and in the oven!

Bake

time is

35 minutes at 200 degrees

(Bake time may vary depending on the oven).

To know that it is well done, when the cake comes out it has to

dance as it moves,

because it finishes curdling out of the oven.

Once out of the oven, the cake has to rest

at least 4 hours

before eating it.

The expert's trick.

If you want to give a different touch, you can add some

blue cheese

to the mixture (as long as you like it).

Zarina -María Parejo in the DNI- in her element, surrounded by cakes and sweets.

Who is Zarina

If her name doesn't sound like anything to you, and you live in

Madrid and its surroundings

- sorry, she can't be everywhere, although she would like to, she has a restless heel - you're taking time to sign Zarina.

To say that each and every one of their cakes is a delight is an understatement.

We assure it but not only:

Malena Costa,

Paula Echevarría,

Eugenia Silva

and Sara Carbonero are also palates who have given more than approval to the 'works' of María Parejo, aka Zarina-.

But the company of this Madrilenian lives not only famous;

Greats of fashion, beauty or the economy

(eBay, La Prairie, La Mutua or Tous)

require your catering services in their large events.

They say that even the CEO of

Bankinter,

María Dolores Dancausa

and her sister

Concepción,

former delegate of the

Government in Madrid,

have fallen for Zarina.

On television, she has been a pastry teacher for the contestants of

Masterchef Spain

in 2014 and 2015.

But María, Zarina, was not 'born' a confectioner. Or almost yes, her passion comes to her since she was little, but she studied

Law at the Complutense University

and practiced as a lawyer. Until

in 2011

, after years and years sweetening the lives of her family and friends as an amateur pastry chef, she decided to wrap the blanket around her head and dedicate herself only to her passion. Time has shown that the decision was the right one.

What started as a small cake company,

Las Tartas de Zarina,

is today

Zarina Dulces y Salados.

Their best-sellers?

In addition to the semi-liquid cheesecake,

the carrot cake,

the chocolate with

Guinness beer

and the lemon, a classic that in your hands is different and surprising, they are worth tasting.

Ah!

Why is she called Zarina?

"Because I am the youngest of four brothers and my father called me zarina

like someone who calls a princess ...".

And Zarina has stayed for family, friends and clients.

Zarina sells online on her website.
