About this recipe

This semolina-curd casserole is a wonderful memory of my childhood for me. My grandma often baked it, especially in the summer when the garden was full of fresh berries. She always said that it was a simple but honest dish that made the whole family happy. And she was right! The ingredients all play an important role. The curd, preferably a cream curd with 40% fat, provides the creamy base and the slightly sour taste. The semolina gives the casserole structure and binding, it absorbs the liquid and ensures a pleasant consistency. The eggs, of course from happy chickens, bring airiness and a beautiful golden color. The sugar sweetens the whole thing, but not too obtrusively, so that the flavors of the fruit are in the foreground. And the fruits themselves are the icing on the cake! They bring freshness, acidity and a natural sweetness that harmonizes perfectly with the curd. A splash of lemon juice enhances the flavors and prevents the casserole from becoming too heavy. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important to follow the order of the steps exactly. The stiffly beaten egg white ensures a particularly loose texture. Make sure that the mixing bowl is clean and free of grease before adding the egg white. The butterfly whisk is essential here. Patience is required when folding in the egg whites. Carefully fold it into the curd mixture with a spatula so that the air does not escape. Avoid stirring too much. The baking time may vary depending on the oven. Observe the casserole carefully and cover it with aluminum foil if it gets too dark. The recipe is already suitable for a vegetarian version. If you want to prepare it vegan, you can replace the curd with a plant-based alternative based on soy or cashew. The eggs can be replaced with applesauce or flaxseed eggs. Instead of Bourbon vanilla sugar, you can also use the pulp of a vanilla pod or experiment with some lemon or orange zest. A pinch of cinnamon or cardamom also goes perfectly. Serve the casserole warm or cold, depending on your taste. It tastes delicious on its own, but with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of cream or a homemade fruit sauce it becomes a special treat. A few roasted almonds or hazelnuts also go well with it. The casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. It can also be prepared well in advance. The curd mixture can be prepared the day before and stored in the refrigerator. However, you should only beat the egg whites and fold them in shortly before baking. This keeps the casserole nice and airy.
