Lemony Cottage Pudding

I grew up with cottage cheese being touted as a diet food, which I think made me think early on it was not  a desireable food.

However, I have discovered on Dukan how great it is cooked and in desserts. Cooked it goes all stretchy and cheese like and is great when I am missing yellow hard cheese. On Dukan bread as a pizza or in a sauce for vegetables it is grand.

Lemon has always been one of my favourite flavours. I never-the-less become even more fond of lemon while doing the Dukan diet. I have played round with dessert recipes and this is one of my favourite lemon ones. I can feel very virtuos eating my cottage cheese and yet feel like I am spoiling myself with a tasty dessert. The best of both worlds.
