This cottage cheese and berry bake is soft, creamy, and bursting with juicy berries — a light dessert that tastes like a treat yet is packed with protein. The semolina gives it a delicate, tender crumb, and the berries turn jammy as they bake. It is lovely warm or chilled, and if you enjoy cottage cheese desserts, try our Baked Cottage Cheese Dessert with Orange Zest and Royal Cottage Cheese Cake with Blueberries too — Allrecipes also has plenty of inspiration for berry bakes.
Ingredients
- 500 g cottage cheese (5%)
- 2 eggs
- 80 g sour cream
- 25 g semolina
- Sweetener to taste
- 300 g berries
- 10 g cornstarch
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients (blend if the cottage cheese is grainy). Spread the cheese mixture in an 18 cm pan and top with the berry mixture.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35–40 minutes.
- When done, leave the bake to cool in the closed oven for 30 minutes without opening the door.
- Best made the evening before: either leave in the oven overnight, or cool at room temperature, chill 2 hours, and only then unmold.
Tips
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth for the silkiest texture.
- Toss the berries with the cornstarch before topping so the juices thicken instead of running — the USDA lists cottage cheese as a good source of protein and calcium.
- For another berry dessert, try our Cottage Cheese and Berry Gelatin Dessert — it is light, refreshing, and needs no baking.
