Classic curd pudding in the oven

Cottage cheese pudding in the classic version resembles the casserole beloved by many. Thanks to thorough mixing with the rest of the ingredients, the fermented milk taste in this delicacy is practically inaudible, which is ideal for those who do not really like the taste of such a product.

List of ingredients you will need:

half a cup of milk and sugar;
2 cups cottage cheese (the higher the fat content, the better);
3 eggs;
creamy spread – 70 g;
a pinch of salt;
a handful of raisins;
semolina grits - 3 tbsp. spoons.

Baked goods made from semolina and cottage cheese are more elastic and do not sag. Pour warm milk over the semolina and leave the cereal to swell.
Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the yolks with granulated sugar until silky smooth.
Grind the cottage cheese until smooth and combine with the yolk mixture.
Soften the creamy spread until creamy and combine with the infused cereal. Place in parts into a bowl, stirring gently.
The recipe for curd pudding in the oven can be made more interesting by adding raisins, nuts or any other fruits and berries. In our version, we will use white raisins, which were previously soaked in hot water for several minutes.
We break the protein into a strong foam, which we carefully introduce into the main mass, spoonful at a time.
It is best to bake in a special form. Grease it well and cover it with baking parchment. Then pour our dough into it.
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees, place the mold in it and increase the temperature to 230 degrees. Curd pudding with semolina takes about half an hour to prepare. Remove from the container when completely cooled. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top or spread with any jam.

Delicious recipes

Pudding is a traditional English dessert made from cottage cheese. There are many options for preparing it. For your attention, popular recipes for a wonderful and healthy sweet dish.

Classic gentle

This classic recipe is suitable for any diet, and most importantly, it is so simple that even novice cooks can probably handle it.

The list of required ingredients includes:

cottage cheese (fat content 9%) – 400 g;
low-fat milk – 100 ml;
semolina – 2 tbsp. l.;
sugar – 2 tbsp. l.;
eggs – 1-2 pcs.;
baking powder – 0.5 tsp;
vanillin or vanilla sugar - to taste;
raisins or dried cranberries, dried apricots, candied fruits - optional;
vegetable oil or butter for greasing the pan.

Attention! If you strictly adhere to the rules of a healthy diet, baking powder can be replaced with baking soda, quenched with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Moreover, it is better to add these ingredients to the cottage cheese separately so that the slaking process proceeds slowly throughout the entire heat treatment period. Otherwise, it is better to follow the recipe exactly.

The first step is to wash and dry the raisins or other additives. The milk is heated almost to a boil, after which it is mixed with semolina. Stir with a spoon until the milk cools.

In a separate container, grind cottage cheese with sugar and one egg. If the mixture is too thick, add a second egg and stir until smooth. Add semolina swollen in milk, add vanillin or vanilla sugar, baking powder, a little raisins or other additives. All ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

250-300 ml of water is poured into the tray of a multi- or double boiler, and a stand for the dish is placed on top. The prepared curd mass is placed in one or more silicone molds, and then placed on a stand. You can also use metal muffin tins, but in this case you need to grease them thoroughly with oil to prevent the pudding from burning.

The dish is cooked at pressure level “2” for 15-20 minutes. The molds are left inside until completely cooled - during this time the pudding will take on the desired consistency. Then the dessert is removed from the molds, optionally sprinkled with powdered sugar or crushed nuts, and topped with sour cream or yogurt.

With chocolate icing

This recipe is no longer for strict diets, but just for those occasions when you can treat yourself to a fairly high-calorie, but very appetizing dish. The preparation method is a little more complicated than that of classic pudding, but the result will be completely different - you will get an original, unique dessert with exquisite flavor notes.

For the pudding:

cottage cheese (fat content 9%) – 500 g;
sour cream (fat content 15%) – 50 ml;
butter – 50 g;
sugar – 200-250 g;
starch – 25 g;
eggs – 5 pcs.;
baking powder – 0.5 tsp;
breadcrumbs - a pinch.

For the glaze:

milk (fat content 2.5%) – 35 ml;
butter – 50 g;
cocoa – 50 g;
sugar – 75 g.

The cottage cheese is ground with eggs and sugar. In a separate container, mix softened but not melted butter with sour cream, then add them to the cottage cheese. Add starch and baking powder. You can speed up the process of making the pudding base by blending all the ingredients in a food processor.

The finished mixture is transferred to a large silicone mold and placed on a steamer stand. If you don’t have a silicone mold, you can use a standard attachment for cooking cereals or simply cover the stand with foil, after making several holes in it with a toothpick. Don't forget the breadcrumbs - they will prevent the dish from burning.

Pour 250-300 ml of water into the steamer tray, set the mode to minimum pressure and steam the pudding for at least 45 minutes.

While the dish is cooking, you can start making the glaze. Bring the milk to a boil and dissolve a piece of butter in it. Add cocoa powder and sugar and mix thoroughly.

The finished pudding is removed from the mold and poured with lukewarm glaze. In half an hour it will set and the dish can be served. If desired, it can be decorated with seasonal berries and pieces of fruit, complemented with ice cream or other desserts.

Banana sweetness

Pudding goes perfectly with any fruit. Their pieces can be placed inside the curd mass or on the glaze, or they can even be served as an addition to dessert.

But it’s best to evenly mix the fruit pulp with the cottage cheese - then the whole dish will acquire a rich taste and amazing aroma. Bananas are good because they are soft, not too juicy and very healthy for the body.

To make banana pudding, you need:

cottage cheese (fat content 9%) – 400 g;
bananas – 2-3 pcs.;
sugar – 1-2 tbsp. l.;
eggs – 4 pcs.;
vanillin or vanilla sugar - to taste;
candied fruits - optional;
vegetable oil or butter for greasing the pan.

Often the ingredients are mixed “the old fashioned way” - grinding cottage cheese with sugar and eggs, adding vanillin and fork-softened bananas. But it is much more effective to make banana pulp in a blender and mix the remaining pudding components in it. Lastly, candied fruits or other additional products are introduced into the structure of the curd mass.

Attention! The process of steaming banana pudding is not much different from the classic method. Unless the dish has a strong tendency to burn, but this problem is easily solved with the help of oil.

The curd mass is transferred into pre-greased molds, placed on the steamer stand and turned on the device, not forgetting to fill its tray with a glass of water. Cooking time usually varies between 40-45 minutes; the pudding will need another 15-20 minutes in a cooling steamer to harden.

The dish is served garnished with slices of bananas or other fruits. There are also more “harmful”, but very tasty additions to banana pudding, for example, sweet sour cream sauce, condensed milk, jam.

Diet English steamed dessert

Curd pudding in the oven is a common, but not the only way to make an excellent dish. Steamed dietary curd pudding is no less fluffy and juicy.

Desserts on a diet

Curd puddings are an integral part of a protein and carbohydrate diet, because they contain essential amino acids and complex carbohydrates, which, in turn, serve as a source of energy for the body.

At the same time, the calorie content of the dish and the content of harmful fats in it are extremely low, especially when it is based on five or nine percent cottage cheese.

Important! It is better not to use a completely low-fat product - then the pudding will not hold its shape and will become dry and crumbly. Homemade cottage cheese purchased from trusted sellers can give good results.

Steamed curd pudding

Cottage cheese is one of those few products that have virtually no contraindications. Anyone can consume it in moderation. The only exception is people who suffer from excess calcium in the body. But these are extremely rare. You can cook many different dishes from cottage cheese, both fatty and dietary, high-calorie and low-fat. Today I offer a recipe for steamed curd pudding.

Steamed curd pudding is an ideal healthy breakfast that is prepared for several reasons. Firstly, the dish is great for children. It can be given even to a one-year-old child. It is tasty and will not cause any harm to the baby. There is no fried crust or fat in the dish. Secondly, the dish is useful for those losing weight. Because lubricating the mold with vegetable oil means extra calories, which are completely inappropriate for those watching their figure. But for curd pudding, oil is not needed at all. Eating food in a steamer helps to burn fat tissue effectively. Thirdly, the dish is useful for patients with gastrointestinal tract diseases. People who have gastritis, ulcers, inflammation of the duodenum and other ailments need non-rough, easily digestible food.

Calorie content per 100 g - 216 kcal.
Number of servings - 1
Cooking time - 20 minutes

Ingredients:

Cottage cheese – 200 g
Raisins - 1 tbsp.
Honey - 1 tsp.
Butter - 10 g
Eggs - 1 pc.

Preparing steamed curd pudding:

1. Place the cottage cheese in a deep container and use a fork to crush it to break up large lumps.

2. Add a little butter and a spoonful of honey to the cottage cheese. If the honey is too thick, heat it a little in a water bath so that it acquires a more liquid consistency. If the cottage cheese is fatty, then you don’t need to add oil.

3. Break the egg and separate the whites from the yolks. Add the yolk to the cottage cheese, and place the white in a clean and dry container.

4. Using a blender, mix the products so that the curd mass becomes homogeneous and smooth. If you don’t have a blender, then grind the cottage cheese through a fine sieve before starting cooking. However, if you like to feel whole lumps of cottage cheese in your pudding, then simply stir the ingredients with a spoon. Wash the raisins and dry with a paper towel. If it is hard, then fill it with hot water and leave for 10 minutes so that it absorbs moisture and acquires a soft consistency. Then add it to the curd mass and mix the products.

5. Beat the whites with a small pinch of salt with a mixer into a strong and tight white foam.

6. Fold the whipped whites into the curd dough.

7. Gently fold the whites into the mixture. Do this with slow movements in one direction. It is necessary that the proteins retain air and airiness.

8. Take a glass or any other convenient form and cover it with baking parchment, which you first moisten in water. It will be good to line the paper according to the shape of the container. Then pour the curd mass into the mold and smooth it out. Place the bowl in a colander over a pan of water. At the same time, make sure that the water does not come into contact with the sieve. Place such a structure on the stove and boil. Cover the future pudding with a lid and steam for about 10 minutes. If you have a double boiler, then cook the dish in it.

We recommend: Curd pudding with raisins in the microwave

So, we will prepare steamed curd pudding as follows:

Combine semolina with a portion of sugar and mix.
Place the cottage cheese here and stir well. By the way, you can beat the mass with a submersible blender to saturate it with additional oxygen.
Eggs can be added directly to the mixture, or you can separate the yolks from the whites, grind the yolks and pour into the curd mixture. In this case, the whites must be beaten in a blender or mixer until fluffy foam, and they must be introduced into the fully prepared base (last).
Add sour cream and vanilla, mix everything well until smooth.
Now add cinnamon. If you don't like the aroma of this spice, you can omit it or replace it with your favorite seasoning, natural essence.
The orange must be peeled, a little zest grated on a fine grater and set aside for final decoration of portioned pieces of pudding. If possible, remove the films from the slices, remove all the seeds, trying not to release the juice from the pulp. After this, cut the pulp into pieces and pour into the curd base. Mix everything thoroughly again.
Transfer the mixture into a steamer bowl. There is no need to lubricate its inside with oil; usually the bowls of steamers are made of plastic, to which no dish sticks. This, by the way, makes the pudding even lower in calories.
Cover the steamer bowl with a lid, do not forget to pour water into the special compartment so that the steamer works as intended. Now you need to set the operating time to 30 minutes.
At the end of the steaming process, remove the lid from the bowl with a sharp movement to prevent condensation from getting onto the pudding. Carefully turn the bowl onto a dish and cut the curd pudding into portions in a double boiler.

Before serving, it would be nice to decorate each portioned piece of pudding and give it a bright taste. For these purposes, you can use previously grated orange zest. If you have a special device, then the zest can be cut into long spirals - this will make the dish not just aromatic, but also visually attractive. You can also decorate the pudding with lemon slices, grated chocolate, fresh seasonal berries or pieces of fruit. Whipped cream, syrups and jam will go well with the curd base.
