Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Toppings:
- Fresh berries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Grease your 6-inch round cake pan thoroughly using butter or cooking spray, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Pulse 1 cup cottage cheese in blender until ultra-smooth, about 45-60 seconds, scraping sides once during blending.
- Add 1 cup Greek yogurt to blended cottage cheese, continuing to blend until completely uniform and silky.
- Crack 3 large eggs into separate mixing bowl, whisking vigorously for 30 seconds until slightly frothy.
- Pour ¼ cup maple syrup and 1 tsp vanilla extract into egg mixture, whisking continuously for another 20 seconds.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp cornstarch and ½ tsp baking powder over egg mixture, gently folding until no dry clumps remain.
- Gradually pour blended cheese mixture into egg mixture, stirring gently to create a smooth, consistent batter.
- Transfer entire batter into prepared cake pan, using spatula to spread evenly.
- Position pan in 325°F oven, baking precisely 35-40 minutes until center appears slightly jiggly but set.
- Crack oven door open, allowing cheesecake to cool inside for 10 minutes to prevent sudden temperature changes.
- Transfer pan to refrigerator, chilling for minimum 3 hours to achieve perfect texture.
- Garnish chilled cheesecake with fresh berries and light honey drizzle before serving.
Notes
- Always use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth, creamy texture without lumps.
- Blend the cottage cheese and yogurt thoroughly to create an ultra-smooth base that mimics traditional cheesecake.
- For a protein-packed, low-carb version, replace maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, which can introduce too much air and cause cracking during baking.
