Instructions

6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
7. Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the top and lightly press them in.

9. Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, use orange-fleshed sweet potatoes like Garnet or Beauregard.
Make sure cottage cheese isn’t too watery; drain any excess liquid before using.
The cobbler tastes even better the next day—perfect for meal prep.
