  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds full fat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Topping

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish. For individual servings, you may also use greased muffin tins or ramekins.
  2. Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, sour cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and cornstarch. Use a hand blender to blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no large curds remain.
  3. Prepare the blueberries: If you are using frozen blueberries, toss them with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to reduce excess moisture and prevent them from sinking or bleeding too much into the batter.
  4. Assemble the bake: Pour the smooth batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Evenly sprinkle the prepared blueberries over the top of the batter.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top appears lightly golden. A slight jiggle in the center is acceptable as it will firm up upon cooling.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the bake to cool in the dish for 10–15 minutes before slicing. For a firmer texture, refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy it warm or chilled as preferred.

Notes

  • Using full fat cottage cheese provides the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Tossing frozen blueberries with cornstarch helps control moisture and maintain texture during baking.
  • This bake can be made in individual portions using muffin tins or ramekins for easy serving.
  • The bake will firm up more after refrigeration and can be served cold or reheated gently.
  • Adjust sweetness according to preference by varying the sugar amount.
  • For a gluten-free version, make sure the cornstarch is certified gluten-free.
