Description

A perfect guilt-free dessert, this Diabetic-Friendly Cottage Cheese Cheesecake is sugar-free, gluten-free, and irresistibly creamy. Made with wholesome ingredients like cottage cheese, almond flour, and a sugar substitute, it’s an excellent low-carb option for those watching their sugar intake while indulging in a rich and satisfying treat.


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)

Instructions

  • 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.
    • Blend the mixture with an immersion blender or in a standard blender/food processor until smooth and creamy.
  • Bake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
    • Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 50 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature in the pan.
    • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to firm up.
    • Run a knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, top with fresh berries or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
  • Ensure the cottage cheese is smooth to achieve the creamiest texture.
  • Use your preferred sugar substitute to suit your taste preferences.
