FAQs
1. Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?
Yes! Low-fat cottage cheese works well in this recipe and still gives the cake a creamy texture while keeping it lighter in calories.
2. Do I need to strain the cottage cheese?
Blending the cottage cheese smooths it out, so straining isn’t necessary. However, if your cottage cheese is particularly watery, you can strain it for a thicker texture.
3. Can I skip the crust?
Absolutely! The cake is delicious with or without a crust. Skipping the crust also makes it even quicker to prepare.
4. How do I know when the cake is done?
The cake is ready when the edges are set, but the center should still have a slight jiggle. It will continue to firm up as it cools.
Pairing Suggestions
Cottage Cheese Cake is light and pairs beautifully with fresh fruit. Try topping it with sliced strawberries, a handful of blueberries, or a drizzle of citrus syrup. For drinks, a light dessert wine like Moscato or a hot cup of herbal tea makes for a lovely pairing. If you prefer something non-alcoholic, a fresh fruit smoothie or a chilled iced tea would complement the creamy texture.
