Cottage cheese soufflé

Cottage cheese soufflé is a delicate and airy dessert inspired by Russian traditions of making cottage cheese treats. Its origins trace back to home cooking, where cottage cheese has always been a key ingredient. Thanks to gelatin, the soufflé achieves a light, almost cloud-like consistency, while the cookie base adds a pleasant contrast of textures. Cream and sugar create a gentle sweetness that perfectly complements the natural tartness of the cottage cheese. This dish is great for breakfast or evening tea, and its versatility allows for experimentation with various toppings—from berries to chocolate glaze. It evokes a sense of homey comfort and warmth, reminiscent of traditional Russian desserts that have delighted families for generations.
