Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
Instructions
Place the cottage cheese and cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the cheeses together until smooth and well combined. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can mix manually with a fork.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the bowl.
Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined, creating a creamy mixture.
If the filling appears too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk and mix until you achieve the desired consistency. This step is optional and depends on your texture preference.
Taste the filling and adjust the sweetness by adding a small amount of powdered sugar if needed.
Use immediately as a crepe filling, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before using.
