Curd muffins from semolina
8 servings
80 minutes
Cottage cheese muffins made from semolina are a refined dessert that combines the tenderness of cottage cheese, the sweetness of raisins, and the delicate exoticism of coconut flakes. This recipe draws inspiration from European cuisine, where semolina is often used to create airy and soft baked goods. The muffins have a pleasant aroma of vanilla and rum, while a light hint of ginger adds a piquant touch. The main feature is brushing the hot muffins with apple jam, which preserves their amazing softness. They are perfect for morning coffee, cozy tea time, or festive tables. The excellent combination of textures and flavors makes this dessert not only delicious but also memorable.
