Any fruit topping works wonderfully with this twist on traditional blintzes. It puffs during baking and will fall a bit while standing. It makes a beautiful presentation. —Kristi Twohig, Waterloo, Wisconsin

Raspberry Cheese Blintz Bake Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min. + standing

Yield: 12 Servings

25 40 65

Ingredients

1/2 cup orange juice
6 eggs
2 egg whites
1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) sour cream
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash salt
FILLING:
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (16 ounces) 4% cottage cheese
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
TOPPING:
1 package (12 ounces) frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup orange juice
Mandarin oranges, optional

Directions

Combine the first 11 ingredients in a blender. Cover and process until smooth. Set aside 2 cups batter; pour remaining batter into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
For filling, combine the egg yolks, vanilla, cottage cheese, cream cheese and sugar in a blender. Cover and process until smooth. Spoon filling over batter; cut through with a knife to swirl. Top with reserved batter. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until center is just set (mixture will jiggle). Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
For topping, press raspberries through a strainer; discard seeds and pulp. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and orange juice until smooth; stir in raspberry puree. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with blintz bake. Top with mandarin oranges if desired. Yield: 12 servings.
