Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese

- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with the butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and milk. Use a blender or immersion blender to blend the mixture until it's smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
Gradually pour the egg mixture into the cottage cheese mixture, whisking until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and raisins (if using).
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes or until the pudding is set and slightly golden on top.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serve the pudding warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
