Then all that remains is to lightly sauté the carrots and onions, mix the ingredients and bake. By the way, you can simply boil carrots and finely grate them.

Among the advantages of preparing a steamed cottage cheese casserole in a multicooker is the special tenderness and ease of removing the finished casserole from the multicooker (it is at this stage that even the tallest curds, traditionally prepared in a bowl, often fall off). To enhance the flavor, try adding sliced bananas to the casserole. They give the cottage cheese casserole a wonderful aroma and taste.
Ingredients:
- Cottage cheese - 500 gr.
- Chicken egg - 2 pcs.
- Sugar - 3-4 tablespoons
- Semolina - 3 tablespoons
- Bananas - 1-2 pcs.
- Vanilla sugar (vanillin) - optional
- Butter - a small piece to grease the pan
Preparation:
1. For the steamed cottage cheese and fruit casserole, I take exactly the same ingredients as if I were making the casserole at “Baking”. I don’t add baking powder or soda to steamed casserole (and when I bake, I often do it without baking powder or soda). Today I have a banana for fruit (there are two of them in the photo, but I will put one banana in the curd mass, and the second will be for decorating the finished casserole). And if my casserole is with banana, then I don’t add vanilla sugar. 
2. The curd mass can be prepared using a regular spoon, first grinding the cottage cheese with eggs and sugar, and then stir in the semolina. Or you can mix in a food processor or using a blender, placing all the ingredients at once (except fruit!) in the bowl of the food processor or blender, or in a bowl if the blender is an immersion blender. It is good to use a food processor or blender if the cottage cheese is grainy. In addition, with these assistants it’s faster. 
3. Add chopped pieces of fruit to the finished curd mass. As I said, today I have a banana. After adding the fruit, I stir so that the pieces are more or less evenly distributed in the mass. 
4. I prepare the mold - grease it with oil (I melted the oil in the microwave for this). I will make the casserole in one pan, but you can make small muffin casseroles in small pans. Regarding one large form, I will make a small but important note. The mold should fit freely into the container for steaming; there should be “gaps” between the walls of the container and the mold for steam to escape. Therefore, under no circumstances use a mold that will sit “like a glove” in the container. This form will block the steam from escaping, and you risk losing your multicooker forever. 
5. So I transferred the curd and fruit mixture into the mold. All that remains is to pour water into the bowl (I pour 5 multi-glasses of hot water from the tap), place a steamer container on top of the bowl, and place a mold with the curd and fruit mixture in the container. When the water is poured and everything is installed, I close the lid, find the “Steam” program in the menu, set the time on the timer to 30 minutes (in the Redmond M170, the time starts counting from the boiling of water) and press the “Start” button. 
6. A signal sounded - the program ended. I turn off the multicooker and open the lid immediately (when casseroles or steamed baked goods, it is not advisable to leave it under the lid, as drops of condensation may dampen the top). I take out the steamer container, but don’t touch the casserole dish until it cools completely. 
7. Turn the cooled casserole onto a plate. The casserole has cooled, “set”, and “moves away” freely from the walls and bottom of the pan. I place the remaining banana (or other fruits) on the casserole. 
8. Then the casserole can be cut and eaten. It will be delicious with sour cream, condensed milk, or just like that. Another option is to make a fruit sauce and pour it over the casserole (or serve the fruit sauce separately).
I often cook this casserole, especially at the dacha where there is no oven, but we definitely take a double boiler with us. And the other day I once again made cottage cheese casserole, but this time it was to save a spoiled product, namely milk. As they say, “misfortune does not come alone,” and during my dental misadventures, our refrigerator burned down into a heap, so the milk turned into curdled milk, and here we are not far from cottage cheese. From 2 liters of milk you get approximately 300-400 grams. cottage cheese.
I’m too lazy to fuss with cheesecakes, and I don’t have time for them, but here I mix everything and in 20 minutes a tasty and healthy casserole is ready.
Well, the actual recipe itself. Mix cottage cheese (300-400 gr.), 2 eggs, 2 tbsp. spoons of semolina and 1-2 tbsp. spoons of sugar.
It seems to me 2 tbsp. spoons of sugar turns out very sweet, but it also depends on whether berries (dried fruits) are added to the casserole and what kind. For example, this time we had a casserole with irga,
I added 1 tbsp sugar. spoon, it turned out just right, although the goddaughter said that it could have been sweeter, in general, add sugar to taste. I also mixed the berries with the main mass. I mixed everything right away in the rice bowl, so there was no need to transfer it.
Well, as you already understood, our casserole is baked in this very rice bowl. Set the steamer for 20 minutes and go for a walk. The goddaughter (17 years old) and her son almost got into a fight over this cottage cheese casserole, although the goddaughter herself doesn’t really like cottage cheese.
If I’m making a casserole only for my son, the amount of ingredients is correspondingly reduced and so that the whole casserole doesn’t smear on the bottom of the rice bowl, I cook it in a regular small-sized food container.
Try it, the casserole is really tasty and healthy, and most importantly, it requires a minimum of time to prepare.
Sweet and delicious curd pudding(casserole) steamed will appeal not only to small children, but also to adults. It is very easy to prepare in a steamer or slow cooker. You can diversify the taste of steamed cottage cheese pudding with various sweet additives: banana, candied fruits, dried apricots, raisins, prunes, any fruits and berries. Despite its steaming, an airy casserole made from cottage cheese without semolina, similar to a delicate soufflé, will dispel the myth that diet food is always not tasty. Healthy and tasty, especially with some berry syrup!

Almost everyone loves cottage cheese casserole, with the exception of those who do not consume cottage cheese in any form. This dish always turns out tender, airy and very healthy. By the way, you can cook it not only in the oven. The steamed casserole also turns out excellent. To make a “steam” cottage cheese casserole, you can put it in a mold in a steam bath, you can put it in a double boiler, or you can let the multicooker work. This is what we will use when preparing this curd delicacy. By the way, such a casserole can become one of the dishes in the kids’ diet….
Ingredients
- 250 g cottage cheese__NEWL__
- 1 apple__NEWL__
- 2.5 teaspoons semolina__NEWL__
- 3 teaspoons sugar (you can add less)__NEWL__
- 1 egg (or just the yolk if you are preparing it exclusively for babies)__NEWL__
Any cottage cheese is suitable for casserole, you can use either paste or with grains. Place the cottage cheese in a bowl, add sugar and beat in the egg.
Mix thoroughly with a blender or mixer. You won’t beat the mixture to a homogeneous consistency; it will be enough to simply mix the ingredients thoroughly. Peel the apple, wash it and cut it into small pieces (of course without the core and seeds). The casserole tastes better if the apple is sour. Transfer it to the curd-egg mixture and then add semolina.
Mix with a spoon or spatula.
You can put the mixer away; you won’t need it anymore. Place the dough in a steaming pan and level it out.
Pour 0.5 liters of water into the main bowl, place it first, then the bowl with the casserole, close the multicooker lid and select the “Steam” mode.
15 minutes is not enough for a dish, so we start the mode again. The finished casserole, to be honest, is not very appetizing in appearance. To make it a real delicacy for children that you want to eat, and not one that needs to be persuaded to eat, pour chocolate icing on top - the dish will resemble a mini-cake. But even without additional sweeteners and decorations, it is delicious. Bon appetit!
