Total Time: 60 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 cup fruit topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and erythritol. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-integrated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a uniform surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the souffle is golden brown and set in the center. The edges should be slightly puffy and the middle should not wobble when gently shaken.
- Remove from the oven and let the souffle rest for 5-10 minutes to allow it to set and cool slightly.
- Optional: Top with your preferred low-carb fruit topping such as fresh berries, sugar-free raspberry sauce, or a small amount of whipped cream.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Whisk Thoroughly: The key to a smooth, lump-free souffle is vigorous whisking. Take your time to ensure all ingredients are completely integrated.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Let eggs and cottage cheese sit at room temperature before mixing to create a more uniform batter.
- Don't Overmix: While whisking is important, stop as soon as ingredients are combined to prevent a dense texture.
- Oven Placement: Use the middle rack for even heat distribution and consistent baking.
- Watch Carefully: Ovens vary, so start checking at 35 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the souffle to rest after baking - this helps it set and makes slicing easier.
- Customize Your Topping: Experiment with different low-carb fruit toppings to keep things interesting and flavorful!
