Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cup full fat cottage cheese 2% would also work, don't use non-fat
  • ¾ cup greek yogurt full fat or 2% works best
  • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ⅓ cup oat flour corn starch also works*
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup cacao
  • 2 eggs

optional toppings

  • berries of choice
  • crushed pistachios
  • chopped chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add all ingredient to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Pour batter into a 6 inch spring form pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 50 minutes - 1 hour. You will know it is done being cooked when the edges are browned and the cake is not gooey.
  • Let cake cool for 20 minutes sitting out in the pan. Then remove from the pan, add to a plate (leaving on the parchment paper) and refrigerate for for at least 4 hours.
  • Add your favorite toppings and serve.

Notes

This makes 6 tiny pieces of cheesecake. Serving size is for ⅙ of the cake. 
*I have only tested this recipe with oat flour however I do believe you could sub in ½ cup  almond flour.
