  • 2 eggs or 3 egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract, 5g
  • Zest of 1 lemon (1 tbsp)
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, 60g
  • ½ cup raw cane sugar, 100g (or any sweetener you like)

Flour Mixture:

  • 1 tsp baking powder, 4g
  • ½ tsp salt, 3g
  • ¼ cup white chocolate, 45g melted and cooled slightly (optional)
  • 2 tbsp white chocolate chips, 28g to sprinkle on top (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease & line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt ¼ cup of white chocolate in microwave or double boiler. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine Cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sweetener. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add baking powder, salt and melted white chocolate. Blend until incorporated.
  5. In a medium-sized bowl add your flour, pour the lemon cottage cheese mixture and mix until incorporated.
  6. Pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle the top with 2 tbsp white chocolate chips.
  7. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool completely before slicing. Chill if you prefer a denser, fudgy bar.

Notes

  • If you are not using the chocolate, you could add 1/2 cup of berries to top before baking.
