30 minutes

Cottage cheese and berry casserole with powdered sugar is a delicate treat infused with the aromas of summer. Its roots trace back to Russian culinary tradition, where cottage cheese has always played an important role in home cooking. In this recipe, lightness is achieved through carefully whipped egg whites, while the natural sweetness of the cottage cheese perfectly complements the tartness of fresh berries. The casserole is soft and slightly moist inside, with a light crust on the surface. It is served warm, allowing the delicate flavor of butter and semolina to unfold. An ideal treat for a cozy tea time—sweet but not cloying, it brings joy with every bite.
