Instructions

Savourer la croûte:

In a mixing bowl combine almond flour melted coconut oil honey and salt. Mix until the texture is like wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a 9 inch springform pan to create an even layer.

Cuire la croûte:

Place the pan in a preheated oven at 175 degrees Celsius. Bake the crust for about 10 to 12 minutes until it turns lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.

Mélanger la garniture:

In a blender combine cottage cheese protein powder Greek yogurt honey eggs vanilla extract lemon juice and salt. Blend until very smooth and creamy ensuring no lumps remain.

Verser et lisser:

Pour the creamy filling over the cooled crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula and gently tap the pan on the counter to remove any trapped air bubbles.

Cuisson du cheesecake:

Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes. The edges should be set while the center still jiggles slightly when you gently shake the pan. This ensures a creamy texture without overcooking.

Refroidissement:

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool on the counter for about one hour. Then cover and refrigerate it for at least four hours or overnight to fully set and develop flavor.

I adore the combination of cottage cheese and Greek yogurt which gives this cheesecake its unique light yet creamy profile. One memorable time I served it at a family gathering and even the kids asked for seconds which was a delightful surprise.

Storage Tips

Keep the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator and consume within five days for best freshness. It also freezes beautifully wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can replace almond flour with finely ground oats for a different but wholesome crust. Greek yogurt can be swapped for full fat plain yogurt for a lighter texture but expect less creaminess. Use honey or agave syrup according to dietary preference or flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Top the cheesecake with fresh local berries or a drizzle of dark chocolate for extra indulgence. A few chopped nuts add welcome crunch and visual charm. Serve chilled accompanied by a cup of herbal tea or black coffee.

Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving to achieve the best texture. Enjoy a lighter dessert that still feels indulgent.
