Dietary nutrition can be both a means of losing excess weight and part of the prevention or treatment of many diseases. Dietary soufflé, as part of therapeutic nutrition, is a traditional thing. Light and easily digestible, it is suitable for those for whom regular food will do more harm than good. But a well-prepared soufflé is also delicious.
Soufflé can be prepared from various ingredients - meat, fish, rice, dairy products. By adding spices or other ingredients to it, you can get a new interesting dish every time.
When the soufflé is part of a diet due to illness, you cannot load it with such additives, but for people losing weight this is not at all forbidden.
For a soufflé, the main product is usually boiled, then a homogeneous paste is made from it in a blender and, combined with several egg whites or other foods allowed by the diet, baked. This way you can prepare both the main course and dessert.
Curd soufflé: preparation
Cottage cheese soufflé is very suitable for dessert. By the way, this is the most delicious soufflé, and you can prepare it in many ways. Cottage cheese soufflé will give you strength and satisfy your need for sweets; the dish contains few calories (if the cottage cheese is low-fat or low-fat), but it contains a lot of protein that every person needs.
Preparing cottage cheese soufflé is not at all difficult; there are many recipes.
The basis of any cottage cheese soufflé recipe is cottage cheese, eggs, sugar and filler (fruits, vegetables, bran, semolina, flour, oatmeal, almond crumbs, etc.).
If the goal of the diet is weight loss, then the main thing in the cottage cheese soufflé recipe is to reduce the number of calories per serving. Then the recipe might look like this
:
- 300g cottage cheese (low-fat or low-fat)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon sugar (you can use honey or a sugar substitute)
- 1 tablespoon bran
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Grind the cottage cheese until smooth, add sugar or a substitute. The most convenient way to do this is in a blender: the smoother the texture of the curd paste, the better the dish will turn out.
Mix the bran with milk and let stand for a few minutes so that it swells, and then mix with the curd mass.
Separate egg whites from yolks to reduce calorie content. Beat the whites until stiff and carefully fold into the mashed cottage cheese. It is better to stir the mixture with a spoon from bottom to top, trying not to disturb the airy structure of the whipped whites.
Pour the finished mixture into a mold greased with odorless vegetable oil. It is best to distribute the resulting “dough” into portioned molds, this way the dough will be better baked in the oven, and it will be much more convenient to serve. On top of each portion, before going into the oven, the curd souffle can be supplemented with a pinch of brown sugar or cinnamon, a spoonful of milk or low-fat sour cream. This will make the low-calorie curd souffle more pleasant both in appearance and taste.
The optimal way to bake a curd soufflé is to place the molds in a deep baking tray, pour water into it up to half the height of the molds, and preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Baking time – 20 minutes. The finished dish is best eaten hot, served with milk; the dish is especially good for breakfast.

Steamed cottage cheese soufflé in a slow cooker
Curd soufflé can be prepared not only in the oven, but also steamed, then it will be much more tender. It is convenient to do this in a multicooker in the “Steam” mode for 30 minutes. In this case, the forms can be placed on the bottom of the multicooker bowl, monitoring the level of water, which should not flood the dish itself when boiling.
The recipe above is a base recipe that you can play with with additions. There are several important points to remember:
- When adding flour, wheat or rice, oatmeal or semolina, you need to remember that the structure of the dish will become denser. The more of these components, the more it will end up looking like a casserole. For flour and semolina, the most common ingredients, the amount in the recipe is a quarter of the mass of cottage cheese: for 300g of cottage cheese 75g. But if fruits, berries or vegetables (for example, grated carrots) that contain a lot of water are added to the dish, dry ingredients are needed in larger quantities, otherwise the dish may turn out liquid.
- If the cottage cheese is too dry, it is best to add a little milk to it. Under no circumstances use kefir or yogurt; the dish will most likely not work with them.
- The higher the fat content of the cottage cheese and the calorie content of other ingredients, the less dietary the dish will be, but, most likely, the more tasty.
Curd soufflé with gelatin without baking
For this soufflé you will need:
- 300g cottage cheese (here it is advisable to take low-fat cottage cheese, 7-9%)
- Sugar, honey or other sweeteners to taste
- Half a glass of milk
- Fillings (fruits, berries, chocolate)
- 20-25g gelatin or 2-2.5 teaspoons agar-agar (per 500g soufflé mixture, including all fillers)
Gelatin needs to be soaked in cold milk for half an hour. Mix cottage cheese and sugar (or honey) in a blender until smooth. Heat the gelatin milk, but under no circumstances overheat or boil, and mix with the curd mass. This is also convenient to do in a blender. To harden, pour the mixture into prepared molds. The soufflé with gelatin hardens for several hours, usually 3-4, and then you can try it.
Curd soufflé
- Beat the egg whites in a glass, porcelain or enamel bowl. Aluminum cookware is not recommended as it gives a gray color to the squirrels. Plastic dishes have pores that are not properly cleared of grease and this prevents the egg whites from whipping.
- The dishes must be clean, free of grease and perfectly dry. A drop of water or poorly washed grease from the dishes will extinguish the foam, the egg whites will be more difficult to whip, and the resulting foam will be fragile and unstable.
- Egg whites whip better if you add a pinch of salt to them.
- Fresh egg whites do not whip well, use week-old egg whites

I am often asked about the use of carob. And chocolate curd soufflé is a great example. By the way, the taste will be completely different depending on whether you buy raw or roasted bean powder.
Raw carob is more tender and sweet, while fried carob is more like chocolate.

Curd dietary soufflé is easy to prepare, and the taste of the resulting dish will not disappoint you. You can completely improvise by adding new ingredients and thereby changing its taste.
The dietary soufflé made from cottage cheese, the recipe for which we will consider, serves as a vivid example of creating a low-calorie and incredibly tasty dish.
Dietary nutrition is not only used to reduce body weight, but is also prescribed for certain diseases. At the same time, this very concept scares many, since it implies giving up some foods and revising the diet as a whole. However, as practice shows, something healthy should not be tasteless.
Various dairy products form the basis of many diets. Such high popularity is due to the relatively low calorie content and large amount of protein included in their composition. In turn, the use of cottage cheese opens up space for flights of imagination and makes it possible to significantly diversify the diet of those losing weight. Dishes prepared on its basis are distinguished by excellent taste and delicate structure, ensuring ease of absorption by the body.
Let's look at a recipe for creating a simple soufflé based on cottage cheese. To prepare it we need the following set of ingredients:
- cottage cheese 0% or 5% - 300 g;
- egg - 3 pcs.;
- starch - 2 tbsp. l.;
- lemon - 1 pc.;
- sugar to taste.
Dietary cottage cheese soufflé is best prepared using 0% cottage cheese.
However, in the absence of such a product, 5% mass will do. Another condition for selection is its freshness and porosity, since these are the indicators that speak most about the quality of the product. Having chosen a suitable sample of cottage cheese, take it and grind it through a sieve. This step will make its mass more airy and give it tenderness. Separately from it you need to make the filling. To do this, break our eggs into a bowl and start beating them with a mixer. While mixing, add starch, sugar and lemon juice. Continue beating the mixture until it becomes homogeneous and the sugar is completely dissolved in it. As soon as this happens, add our grated cottage cheese to the container and mix it with a mixer with the rest of the ingredients. As a result of such actions, we will get a light and airy mixture that has an appetizing appearance and a delicate structure.
Now, the curd soufflé needs to be baked. We take a baking sheet, grease it with a small amount of vegetable oil and pour out our entire mass, and also distribute it evenly over the entire area of the sheet. In turn, it should be baked at a temperature of 180-200 degrees for 10-15 minutes. At the end of this time, the dietary soufflé will be covered with a golden brown crust and will be completely ready.

Dietary soufflé based on cottage cheese in the microwave: components and stages of creation
Soufflé with cottage cheese can be prepared without using an oven. In this case, a microwave oven, which almost everyone now has, will help us. The recipe for creating such a culinary masterpiece is based on the use of the following components:
- cottage cheese 0% - 500 g;
- egg - 2 pcs.;
- sugar - 3 tbsp. l.;
- cocoa - 3 tsp;
- raisins - a handful.
To prepare our dish, you should also choose low-fat cottage cheese, which contains a minimum number of calories. It must first be ground through a sieve, making it more airy and tender. After that, add the eggs directly into it and using a mixer, beat both components until completely mixed. Next, add sugar and cocoa, continuing to beat the mixture intensively until the sugar is completely dissolved. Please note that to ensure the desired effect, it is best to use powdered sugar. This solution will not only significantly reduce the time it takes to create a soufflé from cottage cheese, but will also guarantee complete dissolution of sugar. Once mixing is complete, add raisins to our ingredients.
For baking, take muffin tins or ordinary cups, which should be filled to about half the volume. In this position, put them in the microwave and turn it on at maximum power for 5-7 minutes. As soon as the curd souffle begins to rise and foam, it means it is completely ready. Therefore, we take it out of the oven, and load the next batch in its place. After the forms have cooled and the mass has completely hardened, you can eat it, enjoying its taste and extraordinary lightness.
