Curd pudding with semolina

6 servings

50 minutes

Cottage cheese pudding with semolina is a delicate and airy treat that comes from traditional Russian cuisine. Its roots go back to the past when housewives sought ways to create simple yet hearty desserts from available ingredients. The velvety texture of the pudding is achieved by combining cottage cheese and whipped egg whites, while semolina gives it lightness and density. The dessert has a subtle creamy flavor with hints of vanilla, and its sweetness is moderately balanced. This pudding pairs perfectly with sour cream, jam, or fresh berries. It is great for breakfast or a light dinner and will also adorn a festive table. Each spoonful is a piece of cozy home warmth that conveys the atmosphere of a traditional Russian feast.
