This Berry Cottage Cheese Clafoutis is a delightful, low-carb dessert that combines creamy cottage cheese with fresh or frozen berries, baked into a light, fluffy custard. Sweetened naturally with erythritol or honey, it offers a nutritious and delicious way to enjoy a classic French-inspired treat that’s suitable for low carb and diabetic diets.

Ingredients

Scale

Cottage Cheese Mixture

  • 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 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Berries

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, cherries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese: Place the full-fat cottage cheese into a blender and blend until it becomes smooth, silky, and creamy to ensure a lump-free custard base.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: To the cottage cheese in the blender, add eggs, your choice of sweetener, vanilla extract, cornstarch or coconut flour, and lemon zest if using. Blend for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the creamy batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out smoothly to ensure even cooking.
  5. Initial Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes until the edges begin to set gently, but the center remains soft and slightly wobbly.
  6. Add Berries: Carefully remove the partially baked clafoutis from the oven and sprinkle the berries evenly over the top. They will sink slightly into the custard, creating a beautiful berry-filled dessert.
  7. Final Bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 30–35 minutes until the top is golden and the center jiggles slightly when moved. The edges will puff gently, indicating it’s perfectly baked.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the clafoutis to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, optionally dusted with a little powdered sweetener for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • You can substitute cornstarch with coconut flour for a keto-friendly version, but adjust the amount slightly as coconut flour absorbs more moisture.
  • Use fresh or frozen berries according to what you have on hand; frozen berries may release more juice, slightly altering the texture.
  • For a lower sugar option, erythritol or monk fruit sweetener are recommended sweeteners.
  • If using honey or maple syrup, the texture and baking time may vary slightly.
  • Let the clafoutis cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
