4 large eggs

4 tbsp sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, honey, or maple syrup)

Instructions

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.
Blend the Cottage Cheese Mixture: Add cottage cheese to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the eggs, sweetener, vanilla extract, cornstarch (or keto replacement), and lemon zest. Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth and well combined.
Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
Initial Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, until edges begin to set but the center remains soft and slightly wobbly. Remove from the oven.
Add the Berries: Sprinkle berries evenly over the partially-set clafoutis. They will sink in slightly.
Final Bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 30–35 minutes, until golden on top and the center jiggles slightly when shaken.
Cool and Serve: Let the clafoutis cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sweetener before serving.

Notes

For keto-friendly, use erythritol or monk fruit sweetener and swap cornstarch with coconut flour.

Experiment with different fruits like strawberries, blackberries, or peaches.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

For dairy-free, use a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative.
