Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or ovenproof ceramic dish with the tablespoon of unsalted butter. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
Pour the blended mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the clafouti is puffed, golden brown on the edges, and set in the center.
Remove the clafouti from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, for about 10-15 minutes. It will deflate as it cools, which is normal.
Dust the top with powdered sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.
Optional: Garnish with fresh berries for additional flavor and presentation.
