Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake
  • 2.25 cups Cottage cheese Use full-fat for richer texture.
  • 2 pieces Eggs
  • 0.25 cups Stevia or other sweetener Adjust amount to taste.
  • 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
  • Sugar-free jam For serving.
  • Fresh fruits For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 7-inch (18cm) pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Add cottage cheese, eggs, stevia, and vanilla to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the cake batter through a sieve directly into the pan to reduce air bubbles (optional).
Baking
  1. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and the edges are set, while the center is still slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven and leave the cake in the oven for 1 hour.
  3. Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Serving
  1. Serve chilled, sliced with a delicate offset spatula. The surface should be satin-smooth; each slice reveals a creamy, slightly custardy interior.
  2. Crown with a spoonful of sugar-free jam or scatter sliced berries for contrast.

Notes

For the silkiest texture, blend until the cottage cheese is completely smooth. Avoid overbaking; the center should have a slight jiggle. Wrapped gently, the cheesecake will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
