Description

This cheesecake blends cottage cheese and Greek yogurt for a creamy texture and rich flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently tap to release air bubbles.
  4. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
  5. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake rest inside for 15 minutes.
  6. Cool fully at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • This cheesecake is best served chilled and can be topped with fresh berries or a fruit compote.
