What does summer taste like? Find out when you take a bite of this lemony, Zesty Summer Pie that gets its smooth, light texture from whipped cottage cheese and its "ooh la la" from its raspberry-nut topping!

What You'll Need

  • 1 (16-ounce) container low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust
  • 3 tablespoons raspberry preserves, melted
  • 1 tablespoon blanched almonds, chopped

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, combine cottage cheese, sugar, lemon zest, eggs, and vanilla. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
  3. Bake 7 minutes; reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. and bake the pie an additional 55 to 65 minutes, until the center is set.
  4. Remove from the oven and let cool. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. When ready to serve, spread melted raspberry preserves over the top, then sprinkle with the chopped almonds.
