Ingredients
- 600 grams cottage cheese (creamy and rich base)
- 4 eggs (for structure and fluffiness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (adds a warm, sweet aroma)
- 130 grams sugar (for sweetness)
- 250 grams sour cream or natural yogurt (for extra creaminess)
- 30 grams corn starch (to thicken the mixture)
- A pinch of salt (to enhance the flavors)
- 50 grams coconut flakes (for texture and a subtle tropical flavor)
- 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 for easy cleanup later.
2. Mix the Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla sugar, and regular sugar.
- Use a hand mixer or blender to mix until the texture is smooth and lump-free.
3. Add Sour Cream:
- Stir in the sour cream or natural yogurt. Mix well to create a rich and creamy batter.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the corn starch and a pinch of salt, stirring gently until fully combined.
- Fold in the coconut flakes to add a subtle crunch and hint of coconut flavor.
5. Prepare for Baking:
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle almond flakes on top if you’d like a nutty, crunchy topping.
6. Bake:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top turns a light golden color and the dessert is set.
- To test doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, your treat is ready.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Let the dish cool slightly before cutting it into portions.
- Serve warm for a comforting breakfast or chilled as a refreshing snack.
Notes
- Smooth Cottage Cheese: If your cottage cheese has larger curds, blend it first for a smoother texture.
- Make It Gluten-Free: Corn starch is naturally gluten-free, but ensure the brand you use is certified if needed.
- Add Some Zing: A squeeze of lemon juice can add a citrusy brightness to this dish.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
