Notes

For an extra creamy texture, use at least 2% cottage cheese. Always use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Add a pinch of turmeric for a vibrant yellow color. Sweeten to taste, depending on the tartness of your lemon. For a cheesecake-like experience, top with yogurt and crushed graham crackers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
