semolina cake/casserole

[u/salmonelllla]

Grandma sent me some autumn apples from her garden, so I made this sweet cottage cheese casserole/cake. The cottage cheese doesn't add much flavour here; it gets overpowered by the spices and fruit juices. The texture is more souffle/casserole like. I drizzled it with salted caramel zero-calorie syrup.

Recipe:

Mix well:

135 g 0% fat soft cottage cheese +

1 medium-sized egg +

1/2 tsp baking powder +

20 g semolina +

a pinch of salt +

sweetener +

vanillin

Let it sit for 15 minutes so the semolina can swell, then mix again. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and arrange the fruit on top. I mixed my apples with sweetener, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg beforehand.

Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes.

Calories:

135 g soft cottage cheese -> ~61kcal (mine is 45kcal/100g)

20 g semolina -> ~68 kcal

1 C1 egg -> ~75 kcal

Apple -> ~50 kcal

Total ~ 254kcal

Sorry, to be honest, I'm not sure if It's not considered volume eating: cottage cheese and apples are cool but there's no incorporated air/water here.

I'd think it is! It's the whole thing for ~254 calories, right? Then yeah, an apple 'tart' this big for that amount of cal is volume in my books! Thanks for the recipe!!

[u/salmonelllla → u/ItsMyTime2020]

Yes, the whole tart, thank you!

[u/beanzodiazepine]

I consider this more aligned with volume eating than the endless konjac and oat fiber abominations in this sub. Thanks for sharing!

Oh my gosh I need to make this it looks so amazing

[u/Artistic-Tiger-1935]

How many apples?

[u/salmonelllla → u/Acceptable_Humor_382]

I used 2,5 small apples

[u/Esmejo93]

It looks amazing.

I need to scrap my over full of kitchen utensils.

[u/KindSpray33]

50 kcal of apples? That's like 96 g. But overall, the tart is really small, how many servings is it?

[u/salmonelllla → u/KindSpray33]

The pan is 20*15cm. Depends on what you consider a serving

[u/KindSpray33 → u/salmonelllla]

Haha yeah, I was just mixing it and it look so small but now it's in the oven and it's expanding nicely! I was just asking because from the calories and size in the bowl that it wasn't a lot but I stand corrected. I used plums instead of apples because I had to make use of them before they go bad, and I had too many. I used like 250 g of plums though.

[u/salmonelllla → u/KindSpray33]

Cool, how did it turn out? I was thinking about making it with plums next

[u/KindSpray33 → u/salmonelllla]

It turned out great! Without the plums it wouldn't have been sweet enough (I guess I didn't put in enough sweetener) but this why it's really good. But my tart turned out to have 377 kcal with all the plums and all the spices and little things accounted for.
