INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Nonfat Cottage Cheese (110g)
3/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (170g)
2 Egg Whites (66g)
1 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese (28g)
1/2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste (2.5g)
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice (5g)
1 tsp Liquid Stevia (4g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease a small, oven-safe dish.
In a blender or food processor, combine the nonfat cottage cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, egg whites, and low-fat cream cheese. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Add the vanilla bean paste, fresh lemon juice, and liquid stevia to the blend. Process again until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and a slight wobble remains in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a few fresh berries or a light dusting of cinnamon.
