Classic cottage cheese casserole is one of the coziest and most delicate desserts of Russian cuisine, delighting with its soft, airy taste. Historically, this dish was created as a way to use cottage cheese and make it even tastier, especially for children. The casserole has a sweet vanilla aroma, while raisins add light fruity notes. Its texture is tender and slightly elastic thanks to semolina, and the golden crust brushed with sour cream makes it particularly appetizing. The casserole can be served hot or chilled with sour cream, honey or berry syrup. It’s an ideal option for breakfast or a light dessert that brings the warmth of home comfort.
