Creamy Cottage Cheese Protein Cheesecake
Blended cottage cheese and vanilla protein baked into a velvety cheesecake with a light almond crust and a hint of bright lemon zest.
INGREDIENTS
1.25 cups 1% Cottage Cheese
2 large Egg Whites
0.5 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein
0.25 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt
3 tbsp Almond Flour
2 tbsp Monk Fruit Sweetener
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Lemon Zest
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 6-inch springform pan or small baking dish with coconut oil spray.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg whites, Greek yogurt, protein powder, monk fruit sweetener, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and no cottage cheese curds remain.
Press the almond flour into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a thin, even crust layer.
Pour the blended cheesecake batter over the almond crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges are set and slightly golden, but the center still has a slight jiggle.
Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set and develop a velvety texture before serving.
