Chocolate cottage cheese casserole
Description
Delicious baking for the whole family. This cottage cheese casserole recipe is so simple that even little ones can manage it under their parents’ watch. But there is one catch! To get neat striped layers in the finished dish, it is important to make the two batters (plain and chocolate) the same consistency. Make this casserole yourself too — I’m sure your family will love it. Serve chilled or slightly warm.

Step 9
The doneness of the cottage cheese casserole is judged visually. Gently shake the pan: the center should jiggle slightly, like a cheesecake. I baked it on the middle rack for about 40–45 minutes, but adjust to your own oven. Let the cottage cheese casserole cool in the pan, then remove it and cut into portions.
