High Protein Cottage Cheese Cheesecake
This High Protein Cottage Cheese Cheesecake is a delicious healthy dessert recipe.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup full fat cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup thick raw honey*
- pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons corn starch or arrowroot powder/starch see notes for subs**
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
optional toppings
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped strawberries or berry of choice
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. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 50 minutes - 1 hour, until cooked, removing the foil after 20 minutes. 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 2 hours.
- Add your favorite toppings and serve.
Notes
This makes 2 large pieces, 4 regular pieces, or 6 tiny pieces of cheesecake. Serving size is for ¼ of the cake.
*If you can not find raw honey or your honey is extremely liquidy you may need to add a pinch more of extra corn starch.
**I have tested this recipe with both arrowroot and corn starch and found it to work well either way. Some readers have also tried it with coconut flour and said that it worked but I have not personally tried this.
