Curd and semolina pie
10 servings
90 minutes
Cottage cheese semolina pie is a delicate, airy treat with a rich creamy flavor and light sweetness. This dessert, loved in many parts of Europe, traces back to traditional home baking recipes where cottage cheese serves as the base for creating a soft and nutritious texture. Semolina gives the pie a special density while fruits add a touch of freshness. Apples and pears submerged in the batter release their aroma when baked, and almond flakes add a crunchy crust. The pie is perfect for cozy family tea times or as an exquisite breakfast that provides energy and good mood. It can be served warm with sour cream or honey to enhance the creamy taste of the cottage cheese. This recipe is a harmony of simplicity and refined pleasure!
