Russian sweet cottage cheese bake
  • Servings: 3-4
  • Time: <1hr
  • Print

If you’ve got a chunky and dry cottage cheese – push it through a sieve or stir with electric blender into a smooth mixture.
Ingredients
450-500g cottage cheese
40g butter, melted
2 medium eggs
3 tbsp white caster sugar
2 tbsp semolina (I used coarse, but fine is ok, too)
2-3 tbsp milk, warm
3 tbsp sour cream
a pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract or any other vanilla
50g raisins/currants
Glaze (optional)
1 egg yolk
1tsp icing sugar
Garnish
sour cream or sweet condensed milk
icing sugar, if desired
Method
  • In a small cup, soak semolina in warm milk for 5 minutes. Add sour cream and mix well.
  • In a other small cup, soak raisins in hot black tea or water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a bowl, beat eggs with sugar and salt until pale and creamy, allow sugar to dissolve.
  • In a large bowl, smooth cottage cheese with a folk or electric blender, add butter and mix. Add beaten eggs and vanilla, mix to combine. Add semolina and raisins, and combine.
  • Grease the baking dish with some butter or oil, pour the mixture in and bake in preheated 200C oven for 25 minutes. At this step check the color of your bake: if its top is still pale, brush the bake with glaze and put the dish back into the oven for 15 minutes or until golden-brown; if top is already golden-brown, omit the glaze and bake for 10-15 minutes more.
  • Cut the cottage cheese bake into slices. Serve warm or cold with a dollop of sour cream, if desired. It’s also tasty to pour over some sweet condensed milk (instead of sour cream).
Enjoy!

I boil Mung bean sprouts ( I sprout them myself)> liquidize them, Add a bit of butter and spices and make cream soup 6 carbs per serving. I love it.
 
The above recipes are not for D, but some have very little flower, and some the flower can be substituted with almond flower.
Sugar obviously you can substitute with sweetener.
If any one tries some recipe please let me know if you liked them.
 
I'm so happy I found this thread. I have just started with the whole low carb stuff. I didn't realize that low carb meant anything other than meat, vegetables and salad. Now if one of you could come up with pizza that won't spike my blood sugar, I would die a very happy woman :p

There are starchy vegetables also . What you can eat, and how much, only your meter will tell you. That is why it is important to measure before 1 and 2 hr after all new foods, and keep records.
Try and read a lot and educate yourself to avoid future complications.
I make a pizza with eggplant, or courgettes, fried slices until soft at the base.

Easy Cheesy Courgettes

2 large courgettes

Wash and slice the courgettes. Tip them (raw) into an ovenproof dish.
Melt the cheese and the cream together in the microwave for 2 minutes on High.
Whisk cream & cheese mixture with a hand whisk until smooth - add a little cold water if the mixture is too thick. (Should be the same sort of consistency as Yorkshire pudding batter.)
Pour the cream & cheese mixture over the courgettes and top with a little grated Cheddar.
Bake at 170C for 20 minutes, until browned. (The courgettes will have cooked but will retain a slight 'bite'.)
