Carrot pudding made from soaked carrots is a delicate dish of Russian cuisine that combines the sweetness of the vegetable with the softness of cottage cheese and the lightness of whipped egg whites. Soaking the carrots makes their taste more delicate by removing excess bitterness. The combination of milk and butter gives the pudding a velvety texture, while bran creates a light crispy crust. Historically, such dishes were popular in Russian villages where ingredients were used as economically as possible. It is served with sour cream, which adds a refreshing tang and completes the flavor composition. This pudding is perfect for a cozy tea time, a healthy breakfast, or a light dessert after a hearty lunch.
