Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Carefully separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a large mixing bowl and the whites in a clean, grease-free bowl. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

For the smoothest filling, press the creamed cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve twice. To the mixing bowl with the egg yolks, add the sieved cottage cheese, melted butter, sugar, salt, flour, lemon zest, raisins, chopped walnuts, and milk. Stir until well combined and the mixture is smooth. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

In the bowl with the egg whites, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the whites. This will ensure a light and airy texture in the finished pie. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch. (Bake time: 35 minutes)

08

Step

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Cooling allows the filling to fully set. (Cool time: 2 hours)

For an extra nutty flavor, toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant, before adding them to the filling.
If you don't have golden raisins, regular raisins work just as well. You can also plump them by soaking them in warm water or a bit of rum for 15 minutes before adding them to the filling.
A sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream makes a lovely finishing touch.
