One day while visiting my Grandma Cramer, I asked her if there were any special desserts she remembers either of her grandmas making. She listed off a few specific bakes her German grandma made and one of those was a cottage cheese pie for which she said neither she nor her mom could ever find a recipe. Being a Millennial, I immediately whipped out my Kindle Fire and found a couple of potential recipes on Pinterest and wrote them down for her. She was so excited.
Lately, she and my Granddad have been taking turns at being hospitalized, so I wasn't sure if she'd actually be up to trying them herself, so when I was planning to visit her on her birthday, I decided I'd test out one of the pies. When I arrived, I found out that she had also recently tested out one of the recipes, but it hadn't been what she was looking for. Luckily we didn't pick the same ones and mine ended up being close to her Grandma Dembosky's.
To me, Cottage Cheese Pie is not a name that would tempt me. I did try it, though and it wasn't too bad. Actually it tasted great. I'm just not a fan of the texture (but the texture probably would have been smoother if I'd used a blender instead of a mixer.) But the grandparents really liked it, in fact, Grandma had some the next day for breakfast. Below you'll find a link to the recipe. Guten Appetit!
