How to make Keto Cottage Cheese Dessert?

Smooth, rich, purely delicious, packed with only healthy ingredients, this cottage cheese dessert will make your day.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F.

Using your food processor or hand blender, process 2 cups of full fat cottage cheese, ½ cup of cream, one tablespoon of cornstarch, and one teaspoon of stevia until smooth. Customize sweetener to your taste if desired. In a separate bowl, beat four eggs whites until they form stiff peaks. Bring gently together whites with cheese mixture.

Spoon the batter into molds. For this recipe, it will be easier to use silicone molds. Top with some berries ( both frozen and fresh will work well). Send the cottage cheese desert to the preheated oven for about 40 minutes.

Ensure you will not open the oven door while the cake is baking, as it may sink. After baking, leave it in the oven to cool completely with a slightly open door.
