Ingredients

Blueberries

2 cup(s), divided

Sugar

5 tbsp(s)

Lemon zest

2½ tsp(s)

Fresh lemon juice

1 tsp(s)

Light cream cheese

8 oz

1% low fat cottage cheese

3 tbsp(s)

Raw egg

1 large

Almond extract

¼ tsp(s)

Ground cinnamon

tsp(s)

All-purpose flour

¾ cup(s)

Liquid egg substitute

¾ cup(s)

Fat-free skim milk

1 cup(s)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat combine 1 cup of blueberries, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice; heat, stirring constantly, until almost jam consistency, about 8 minutes. Stir in remaining blueberries.
  2. For filling, beat cheeses, egg, 2 tablespoons of sugar, extract, cinnamon and remaining 2 teaspoons of zest until smooth.
  3. Combine flour and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar to make blintzes. Add egg substitute and milk; whisk to combine and chill for at least 30 minutes. Heat a small nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Remove pan from heat and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter, tilting to coat evenly. Return to heat; cook 2 minutes until batter just solidifies. Repeat until all batter is used.
  4. Divide filling onto cooked side of blintzes and fold up envelope style. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Place filled blintzes into pan seam-side up and cook until they begin to colour, about 1 minute. Turn over and repeat.
  5. Serve immediately with sauce. Makes 8 blintzes.
