INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup Almond Flour (28g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (113g)
1/4 cup Fat-Free Greek Yogurt (61g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1 scoop Whey Protein Isolate (30g)
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste (2.5g)
2 Medjool Dates, pitted (48g)
1 tablespoon Water (15g)
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice (5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, mix the almond flour thoroughly. Press it evenly into the bottom of a small, oven-safe ramekin to form the crust.
In a blender or food processor, combine low-fat cottage cheese, fat-free Greek yogurt, egg white, whey protein isolate, and vanilla bean paste. Blend until the mixture is silky and smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the pressed almond flour crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly.
While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the date caramel drizzle. In a small saucepan, combine the pitted dates, water, and lemon juice. Simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes, then blend until smooth to form a thick caramel sauce.
Drizzle the warm date caramel over the cheesecake. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely, or serve slightly warm for a softer texture.
Enjoy this light yet satisfying cheesecake as part of your balanced meal!
