Indulge in the delightful combination of cottage cheese, prunes, and apples with this airy and light casserole. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, this dish is a delightful treat for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- Cottage cheese (18% fat) / 600 grams (21.2 oz)
- Heavy cream (35% fat) / 150 grams (5.3 oz)
- Sweetened condensed milk / 150 grams (5.3 oz)
- Chicken eggs / 3 pieces, weighing 180 grams (6.3 oz) in total
- Semolina / 20 grams (0.7 oz)
- Prunes / 10 pieces
- Apples / 2 pieces, totaling 300 grams (10.6 oz)
Instructions:
Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture: Transfer the cottage cheese to a bowl and mash it using a potato masher (if the cottage cheese has lumps, you can strain it through a sieve, although I prefer to avoid this step). Add eggs and heavy cream to the cottage cheese and mix well without beating.
Incorporate Condensed Milk: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the cottage cheese mixture and stir until combined. Combine the chopped prunes with the batter. If your cottage cheese is soft and runny, add 2-3 tablespoons of semolina to the batter.
Transfer to a Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, lining the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal. Smooth out the top and decorate it with apple slices according to your preference.
Bake: Bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) until done. Place a bowl or pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven. The casserole is ready when the mixture sets across the surface (the center should not jiggle like a cheesecake). Allow it to cool in the dish before serving.
This airy cottage cheese casserole with prunes and apples is a delightful twist on a classic dessert. Whether enjoyed warm or chilled, it’s sure to impress your taste buds. Enjoy this scrumptious treat!
