Cottage Cheese Protein Cheesecake
Enjoy a smooth, creamy protein-packed cheesecake that delivers a delightful dessert experience without derailing your nutritional goals. With a velvety blend of low-fat cottage cheese and cream cheese accented by a light almond meal crust, a hint of vanilla and lemon zest, and a touch of maple sweetness, this dessert is both satisfying and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese
1/8 cup almond meal
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest of 1/2 lemon
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F if you prefer a lightly baked texture, or set aside for a no-bake version by refrigerating later.
In a blender or food processor, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the lemon zest ensuring even distribution throughout the cheesecake mixture.
For a lightly baked version, pour the mixture into a small, oven-safe ramekin layered with a thin spread of almond meal on the bottom. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges set slightly. For a no-bake version, simply layer the almond meal at the base of your serving dish and pour the cheesecake mixture over it.
Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to enhance its texture and flavor.
Serve chilled and enjoy your protein-packed dessert.
