Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 8
Ingredients
For the pancake sheets:
- 3 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 500 ml milk
- 50 g melted butter
- 250 g flour
- A pinch of salt
For the cheese filling:
- 250 g cottage cheese
- 100 g sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- Rum essence (to taste)
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Preparing the cheese filling:
Start by preparing the filling, as it will need to rest a bit. In a large bowl, add the cottage cheese, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and rum essence. Use a hand mixer or blender to mix the ingredients until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous cream. If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a little vanilla for an extra touch of flavor. Once the filling is ready, set it aside.
2. Preparing the pancake batter:
In another bowl, combine the flour with a pinch of salt. In a separate container, beat the eggs with the sugar until frothy. Add the warm milk and melted butter, mixing well. Then, gradually incorporate the flour mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. In the end, you will obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter.
3. Baking the pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Use a spoonful of oil or a little butter to grease the skillet. Pour a ladleful of pancake batter and cook only on one side until the edges start to lift. This will be the side that will be filled. Repeat the process until you finish all the batter. You will get about 8-10 pancakes.
4. Assembling the pudding:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a cake pan with butter and sprinkle breadcrumbs on the bottom to prevent sticking. Take the first pancake, place it with the unbrowned side at the bottom of the pan, and generously spread it with the cheese filling. Continue to alternate pancakes and filling, finishing with the last pancake, which will be placed with the unbrowned side on top.
5. Baking the pudding:
After you have assembled all the layers, brush the last pancake with melted butter. Now, place the pudding in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and slightly firm to the touch.
6. Serving:
Once the pudding is ready, let it cool slightly before cutting it into slices. You can decorate it with some chocolate ganache or fresh fruit for a contrast of textures and flavors. Serve your loved ones a warm portion and enjoy the joy of this dessert together!
Useful Tips
- Ingredients: Use quality cottage cheese for the filling; it will determine the texture and taste of the dish. If you don't have cottage cheese, you can use ricotta or mascarpone.
- Variations: You can add raisins or pieces of fruit to the cheese filling for a more complex flavor. Also, replace the rum essence with other flavors, such as lemon or orange.
- Caring for the pancakes: If you can't use them immediately, keep the pancakes between sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
