Cottage Cheese Pie with Raisins (Cottage Cheesecake)

The cottage cheese pie is a delicious creamy custard texture cake. It turns yummiest when it completely cools down in the refrigerator before serving. I love it because it is not just delicious, it is a healthy dessert as well, with minimal ingredients. It can be made low-carb and keto-friendly. I used raisins in this pie, which adds a unique flavor to it.

Similar to Air Fryer Cheesecakes, this cottage cheese pie recipe is a famous old-fashioned recipe from Eastern Europe. It’s going to become a favorite. Raisins are just plain tasty, especially in this cake. 

What You Need for Easy Cottage Cheese Pie:

• Cottage cheese: I used full-fat cottage cheese. You can substitute for low-fat cottage cheese, cream cheese, or ricotta.
• Sugar: Only one tablespoon is needed. I used the Monk fruit sugar substitute which is keto-friendly
• Raisins: They are optional. Feel free to replace them with another dried fruit of your choice. Or use blueberries
• Flour: Either all-purpose flour. Or use almond/coconut flour for a low-carb version.
• Egg. Optional.
• A dash of lemon juice and vanilla
• Sour cream: I love to serve it with a dollop of sour cream on top.
• Powdered sugar: for dusting

Variations for a Cottage cheese pie

You can make this pie in the air fryer. If your air fryer does not have a "bake" option you can bake it in the oven.

Serve it with powder sugar and fruit. And you can also top it with sour cream and fruits.

If you are a keto person and want the healthiest version of this pie, then you can use almond flour, coconut flour, or gluten-free flour.

Add lemon zest for extra flavor and aroma.

Bake it inside the crust, such as graham crackers, biscuits, or yeast dough crust.

How to store Cottage cheese pie?

You can store this pie for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Put the cottage cheese pie in an air-tight container and place it in the fridge.

How is this Cottage cheese pie cake healthy?

It is a healthy dessert because it contains nutritious ingredients such as:

Cottage cheese: It is a good source of protein, vitamins, and other minerals. Also good for cancer patients and pregnant women. It is a healthy way to consume cottage cheese if you are a sweet lover.

Raisins: Eating raisins improve digestion, may prevent anemia, improve skin texture, and may improve eye health. Their sugar is mostly fructose, which has a lower glycemic index.

Almond flour: It is high in antioxidants, vitamin E, and other nutrients. It improves blood pressure, cholesterol level, and blood sugar level.
