Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 540 grams of cottage cheese with 90 grams of sour cream. Mix them well until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Add 100 grams of sugar, a pinch of salt, and 5 grams of vanilla sugar to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Crack in 2 eggs and blend everything together.
Finally, sprinkle in 25 grams of cornstarch and stir until well mixed.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, add 600 grams of pumpkin puree. To this, incorporate 80 grams of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.
Grate in the zest of 1 orange for added flavor, and then crack 2 eggs into the mix.
Finally, add 25 grams of cornstarch and mix until everything is well combined.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 22 cm (8.5 inches) baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly across the bottom. Follow with the pumpkin mixture, layering it on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4
Once baked, let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish is delicious warm or chilled, making it versatile for any occasion.
Feel free to garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin and cottage cheese casserole!
Servings
After baking your cheesecake to perfection, it's time to serve! This delightful treat can be served slightly warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm, cozy vibe, or fresh fruits like berries for a refreshing burst of flavor. 🥭🍓 Another fun idea is to drizzle a little caramel sauce on top for an extra sweet touch. Serve it at a picnic with friends, or enjoy it solo with your favorite coffee while basking in the afternoon sun. ☀️ The possibilities are endless, and each bite will bring a smile to your face!
Equipment
Having several sizes will help with mixing your ingredients without spills. Look for glass or stainless steel ones for easy cleaning.

Faq
- What should I do if my cheesecake cracks on top?
Don’t worry, cracks can happen! Make sure to bake it in a water bath for even heating, and avoid overmixing the batter.
- How can I tell when my cheesecake is done?
Look for a slight jiggle in the center. It will firm up as it cools. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Can I use other kinds of cheese?
Yes! Cream cheese or ricotta work wonderfully as substitutes for cottage cheese in this recipe.
- How can I enhance the flavor?
Consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or lemon zest to your cheesecake mixture for an extra flavor boost!

Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. You can also freeze slices for up to a month!
- Can I scale this recipe for bigger parties?
Absolutely! Just multiply the ingredients accordingly, but be sure to adjust the baking time as needed.
