Diabetic-Friendly Cottage Cheese Cheesecake

A guilt-free, sugar-free, and gluten-free cheesecake made with cottage cheese, offering a healthier alternative to traditional cheesecakes without compromising on taste.

Ingredients:

15.8 oz (450g) cottage cheese

2 large eggs

1/2 cup (120g) sour cream

1/4 cup (30g) almond flour

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Sugar substitute equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar (e.g., erythritol, stevia)

Directions:

Preheat Oven:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Prepare the Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, sour cream, almond flour, vanilla extract, and sugar substitute.

Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until creamy.

Bake:

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature in the pan.

Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up.

Run a knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform.

Slice and serve chilled.
