Stewed pumpkin with cottage cheese and dried fruits is a vivid example of how traditional Mexican flavors blend with healthy ingredients. This recipe combines the tenderness of pumpkin, the sweetness of dried fruits, and the soft texture of cottage cheese to create an extraordinarily harmonious dish. Rich in vitamins and microelements, pumpkin serves as the base for this treat, while apricots, prunes, and raisins add a rich fruity aroma. Baking in the oven makes the dish especially tender, and honey or sugar adds the final touch of sweetness. It’s a great option not only for a light dessert but also for a nutritious breakfast that provides energy and pleasure throughout the day.
