Cottage Custard Recipe

This is basically an egg-and-cream custard with cottage cheese courtesy of Evan. When made with small curd cottage cheese, it has a texture much like rice pudding. But if you then whiz it up in a blender or food processor, it makes a smooth pudding as well.

NOTE: You can use different sweeteners such as agave, honey, evaporated cane juice, and xylitol. All work just fine. Each tastes different because of the flavors of the sweeteners.

NOTE: The recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon Stevia powder, which is just right for Stevia. If you use another sweetener, use 4-8 teaspoons. I used 8 teaspoons for the test, and found that while it wasn't over-sweet, I could have used less. Play with it a bit until you find the right sweetener and the right amount for your taste.

ALSO NOTE: The recipe calls for cream, but you could substitute any mixture of cream and milk in whatever proportions you require for your intake of fat and carbs.

The recipe makes 5 servings.

Ingredients:
3 eggs

3/4 cup cream

1 cup small curd cottage cheese

1/2 teaspoon Stevia powder or less depending on taste

Nutmeg (optional)
