Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups Cottage Cheese (full-fat)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 pre-made or homemade pie crust

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a 9-inch pie pan with the pie crust.
3. Press the Cottage Cheese through a sieve or ricer for smooth texture.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine Cottage Cheese, sugar, eggs, cream, flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
7. Let the pie cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Optionally garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or a few fresh berries.

Tips for Success:

• Use full-fat Cottage Cheese for a richer texture.
• For fluffier filling, beat egg whites separately and fold in gently.
• Pre-bake the crust slightly if using homemade dough to avoid soggy bottom.
• Serve warm or chilled according to preference.
