Crystal Charlotte Nelson, Alma Center
2 egg yolks (reserve whites)
1-1/2 cups cream-style cottage cheese
1/3 cup sugar or honey
2 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Grated lemon rind
9-inch unbaked pastry or graham cracker pie shell |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine above ingredients (except pie shell) with mixer or blender. Beat 2 egg whites until stiff, but not dry, and fold into cheese mixture. Pour into unbaked pastry or graham cracker pie shell. Sprinkle top with 1 Tbsp. sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Bake 1 hour or until filling is almost firm in center. A slightly soft center will set as pie cools. Top with a fruit sauce if desired.
