Unexpected Cheese

I enjoy cheese danish and things like that. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the cheese used is cottage cheese.

That’s right, most of the recipes I have found for cheese filled pastry and cookies calls for cottage cheese. I would have thought cream cheese would be the go to.

This is the final filling I made for the kolachy I was making.

The filling turns into the cheese filling I know and love. It is kind of magic really.

I used regular raisins instead of white raisins. I thought I had white or golden raisins in my pantry. But I did not.

I don’t think this changed the flavor at all, just the appearance.
