How to Make Dj's Cottage Cheese Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease four 4-inch baking dishes or a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the cottage cheese until smooth. Make sure there are no large lumps.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, almond extract, and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into prepared baking dishes or pie plate.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes for individual ramekins, or 60-75 minutes for a pie, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool completely before serving. The flavors will deepen if refrigerated overnight.
