Cottage cheese casserole with dried apricots - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute fresh apricots for dried ones. Chop them finely and reduce the amount since fresh apricots have more moisture. You may also need to adjust baking time slightly.
You can substitute honey, maple syrup, or a light dusting of cinnamon sugar for a less sweet option. Greek yogurt mixed with a bit of vanilla extract also works well.
Store it in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. For best freshness, add the condensed milk topping just before serving.
Yes, it freezes well for up to 1 month without the topping. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat gently in the oven before adding condensed milk and powdered sugar.
For a lower-carb version, replace sugar with a keto-friendly sweetener, skip the condensed milk, and use sugar-free powdered sweetener for dusting.
Warm individual portions in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or reheat the whole dish in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10–15 minutes until heated through.
Ricotta cheese is the best substitute, as it has a similar texture. Avoid overly wet cheeses like farmer’s cheese unless you drain excess liquid first.
The recipe is naturally gluten-free as written, but ensure all packaged ingredients (like condensed milk) are certified gluten-free if needed.
