Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, rice flour, inulin, and isomalt. Mix until you achieve a smooth consistency. Ensure that there are no lumps in the mixture.
Once mixed, form the dough into small nests with your hands. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In another bowl, mix together the natural yogurt, frozen cherries or blueberries, rice flour, and isomalt. Stir the ingredients until they are well combined and have a uniform consistency.
Carefully spoon the filling into the center of each nest, being sure not to overfill them. Leave some space for the fruit that will be added later.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit). Once preheated, place the tray with the filled nests in the oven.
Bake for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the base is golden and the filling is set. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 4
If you find the pastries are not sweet enough for your taste, feel free to sprinkle a light dusting of powdered sugar on top before serving.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy pastries warm or at room temperature!
Servings
These fabulous pastries are perfect for any occasion, from a casual afternoon snack to a delightful dessert at dinner parties. Serve them warm right out of the oven for a delightful treat, or let them cool and enjoy them with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt on top. ✨
For a fun twist, pair them with a fresh fruit salad or a scoop of your favorite dairy-free ice cream for a refreshing and light dessert.
Want to elevate your indulgence even further? Drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup over the top to give your pastries that perfect touch of sweetness. It’s the perfect way to impress your guests or to treat yourself—because you deserve it! 🍯

Variations
If you're looking to make these pastries gluten-free, simply swap out the rice flour for a gluten-free flour blend, ensuring it works well as a one-to-one substitute. 🌾
For a vegan twist, replace the egg with a flaxseed meal or chia seed gel and use a plant-based yogurt; you won’t lose any creaminess, but will gain a whole new layer of flavor! 💚
Faq
- What if I don’t have rice flour?
You can substitute it with almond flour or oat flour. Just keep in mind that textures might vary slightly.
- Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen ones?
Yes! However, make sure to adjust the baking time as fresh berries release less moisture.
- What’s the best way to store leftover pastries?
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to a month!
- Can these pastries be made ahead of time?
Absolutely! Prepare the bases and fillings in advance, then assemble and bake them right before serving for the best taste.
- How can I make my pastries fluffier?
Ensure you're not overmixing when combining your ingredients, as this can create denser pastries. A gentle hand is key!
- Can I add other flavors to the filling?
Definitely! Feel free to experiment with vanilla extract, lemon zest, or even a splash of almond extract to add depth to your filling.
