→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 pounds cottage cheese
02 -
1 cup granulated sugar
03 -
4 eggs
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13 × 9 inch baking pan.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Make sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
03 -
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. You'll know it's done when the edges turn lightly brown and the center is nearly set but still has a slight jiggle.
04 -
Allow the syrnyk to cool completely to room temperature. Then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill thoroughly before serving. This helps it set properly and enhances the flavor.
05 -
Cut into squares and serve chilled as a side dish or light dessert for your Easter celebration.
