Cottage Cheese Cake

Cottage Cheese Cake

From Recipes for a Small Planet

4 eggs
2 cups fat free or low fat cottage cheese
½ cup honey
½ tsp salt
1 tsp lemon juice OR ½ tsp vanilla
Cinnamon

Topping
1 ½ cups yogurt
2 Tbsp honey
½ tsp vanilla

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Prepare a 10” pie crust-graham cracker or regular pie crust. Partially bake the crust according to crust recipe directions. I use an 8x8" square dish so I make squares rather than pie.

Whip eggs in blender or food processor. Add cottage cheese ½ cup at a time and blend until smooth.
Pour mixture into small bowl. Stir in honey, salt and lemon juice or vanilla.
Pour into pie crust. Dust with cinnamon (to taste). Bake for about 20 minutes.
Stir together  topping ingredients, pour it over the partially baked pie and bake another 10 to 15 minutes.
When done, a knife inserted in the center will come out clean. Cool pie about 1 hour on a rack and then chill several hours or overnight before serving.
I like to serve the cake with raspberries. Use any kind of fruit you like.
