Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 Cups Prairie Farms Salted Butter room temperature
  • 8 oz Prairie Farms cottage cheese
  • 3 Cups sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 Cups all-purpose flour
  • Glaze:
  • 1/2 Cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 Cup Pistachios, shelled crushed

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350˚. Grease a 9x5 baking pan with butter.
  • Add butter to a small saucepan and melt on low heat. Set aside. Add cottage cheese to a food processor or blender and pulse until pureed.
