Instructions

Recipe notes
Use cold ingredients for a thicker, cheesecake-like texture.
If the cottage cheese is particularly wet, drain it briefly before blending.
For the smoothest texture, blend the cottage cheese and cream cheese until completely smooth before adding the remaining ingredients.
Taste after blending and adjust the lemon zest rather than adding lots of extra lemon juice. Too much juice can make the cheesecake mixture looser.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This gives the mixture time to firm up and develop a thicker, creamier texture.
