Ingredients
- 600 grams cottage cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
- 130 grams sugar
- 250 grams sour cream (or natural yogurt)
- 30 grams corn starch
- A pinch of salt
- 50 grams coconut flakes
- Almond flakes (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Eggs:
- Separate the egg yolks and whites. Set the whites aside in a clean bowl for whipping later.
3. Create the Cottage Cheese Base:
- In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg yolks, vanilla sugar, and regular sugar. Blend using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth.
4. Add Creaminess and Texture:
- Stir in the sour cream (or natural yogurt), then gradually mix in the corn starch and salt. Make sure the mixture is lump-free.
5. Whip the Egg Whites:
- Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. This will make your dessert light and airy.
6. Fold in the Egg Whites:
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to retain the fluffiness.
7. Add Toppings:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and almond flakes (if using) for added crunch and flavor.
8. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Let the dessert cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm for a comforting breakfast or chilled for a refreshing treat.
Notes
- Substitute Options: Replace sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
- Toppings: Add fresh berries or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
