1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease & line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.

2. Melt ¼ cup of white chocolate in microwave, start at 10 seconds, then take out and stir chips. Put back in and nuke for 7 seconds or so till chips are melted.

3. In food processor combine- Cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar.  Blend until smooth and creamy.

6. Pour the batter into the pan.

7.  Sprinkle the top with 2 tbsp white chocolate chips.

8.  Bake for 22–28 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

9.  Let cool completely before slicing. Chill over night. I covered mine

  1. This sounds so good. Anything lemon is a favorite. I would be thrilled to live near you, but I would have to watch what I ate. All your recipes are so tempting, well most, since I am very picky.
