Cottage Cheese Pie
Cottage Cheese Pie
For the Crust:
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham cracker
crumbs
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
For the Filling:
Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese
1 cream cheese
2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 eggs, well beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Grated rind of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Make the crust. Mix together the crumbs, sugar, and
butter in a bowl. Set aside 1/2 cup of
the crumb mixture for the top of the pie. Press the remaining crumbs evenly into an 8 or
9-inch pie pan and refrigerate while you
prepare the filling.
Place all the ingredients in a blender
or food processor until smooth and well mixed.
Alternatively you can beat in a bowl with an electric mixer, but the end result
will not be
quite as smooth.
Pour the mixture
into the prepared pie pan and sprinkle with the reserved crumbs. Bake in
the preheated
350F oven for 40-50 minutes, until a knife comes out clean. Remove from
the oven and
place on a wire rack to cool completely. Then chill in
the refrigerator for
several hours
before serving.
