Ingredients
Filling Ingredients
- 1/2 cup small curd cottage cheese strained
- 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup for a different note
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest freshly grated for best flavor
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Brownie Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix 18 oz, plus required ingredients from the package (usually eggs, oil, water)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oven rack is in the center position for even baking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the strained cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, honey, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing.
- Line a 24-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners and lightly grease them.
- Spoon brownie batter into each cup, filling about 3/4 full. Add a small dollop of the blintz filling to the center of each brownie cup.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out mostly clean.
- Let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to the rack to cool completely or serve warm.
