The key to a good mood

It contains tryptophan, which is directly related to the hormone of happiness - serotonin! That is, the more you eat foods containing tryptophan, the wider you smile! And if you add a mug of flavored cocoa and a few slices of dark chocolate to the banana-curd pie, then there will be no trace of a bad mood. The clouds will disperse, and a welcoming sun will look out over the top of your head! If you live in a city that is sorely lacking in sun, eat bananas as often as possible. And when you get tired of just chewing bananas, make a pie out of them. Cooking it is not at all troublesome, it will take very little time, and the taste will be excellent.

Glaze:
- 5 tablespoons of cocoa;
- 5 tablespoons of sugar;

Start with a deep bowl. Put cottage cheese, sugar and yogurt in it. If you don't have yogurt at hand, you can safely replace it with sour cream. Beat the resulting mixture with a blender. In order for the cake to maintain its shape, the cream should be quite thick. In the next step, dissolve the coffee in the water poured into the saucer. For 0.3 liters of water, 2-3 spoons are needed. Then dip each cookie in coffee water and place in a pre-prepared wide glass container.
Then, when the "basement" is ready, spread it on top with the ready-made cream. And sprinkle with bananas. Then repeat the same procedure again. At this stage, you will already have a two-layer attractive cake. It remains to saturate it with glaze. To make the frosting, combine all the pre-cooked ingredients.
