Cottage Cheese Pie Recipe
Ingredients
For the crust (optional – or use a pre-made pie crust):
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
¼ cup sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
2 cups cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
3 large eggs
½ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ tsp lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the crust (if making your own):
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
2. Make the filling:
Preheat oven (if not already) to 350°F (175°C).
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
Add eggs, sugar, vanilla, flour, lemon zest, sour cream (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble and bake:
Pour the filling into the crust.
Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the center is just set (it may jiggle slightly).
Let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours for best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Dust with powdered sugar.
Serve with fresh berries or fruit compote.
Drizzle with honey or a fruit syrup.
