🛒 Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese
2 large eggs
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cornstarch
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp granulated sugar, optional
¼ tsp salt
Powdered sugar, for topping
Extra fresh blueberries, for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease 3–4 small oven-safe baking dishes or ramekins.
Make the creamy mixture:
Add cottage cheese, eggs, honey, vanilla, Greek yogurt, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the blueberries:
Add blueberries, lemon juice, and optional sugar to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices. Lightly mash them.
Fill the dishes:
Divide the cottage cheese mixture among the prepared ramekins. Spoon the warm blueberry mixture over the top.
Create the swirl:
Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the blueberry mixture into the creamy batter.
Bake:
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the centers are mostly set with a slight jiggle.
Cool:
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for about 15–20 minutes. For a firmer, cheesecake-like texture, refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Garnish:
Top with fresh blueberries and a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
✨ Tips for the Best Texture
Blend the cottage cheese thoroughly for an extra-smooth texture.
Don't overbake—the center should still have a slight jiggle when removed from the oven.
Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used.
For a sweeter dessert, add an extra tablespoon of honey or sugar.
Chill completely for a delicious blueberry cheesecake-style texture.
