Ingredients

• 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 4 tbsp sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, honey, or maple syrup)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp cornstarch or coconut flour
• 1 1/2 cups berries (fresh or frozen, such as blueberries, raspberries, or cherries)
• 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
2. Blend the Cottage Cheese Mixture: Add the cottage cheese into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, sweetener, vanilla extract, cornstarch (or your keto replacement), and lemon zest (if using). Blend for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
4. Initial Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, just until the edges begin to set. The center should still be soft and slightly wobbly. Carefully remove the dish from the oven.
5. Add the Berries: Sprinkle your berries evenly over the partially-set clafoutis. They will sink in slightly, which is perfect!
6. Final Bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 30–35 minutes, until the top is beautifully golden and the center jiggles slightly when gently shaken. The edges should puff up.
7. Cool and Serve: Let the clafoutis cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Dust with a little powdered sweetener if desired, and enjoy!
