Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese (2% fat)
  • 3 pieces eggs
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup For a sugar-free option, use stevia or monk fruit.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • Blend the cottage cheese until smooth for a creamy texture.
  • Add in the eggs, sweetener, vanilla, flour, and salt, then blend again until everything is well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch springform pan.

Baking

  • Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely on a wire rack.

Chilling

  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Serving

  • Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of dark chocolate, or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.

Notes

For variations, you can add lemon zest, pumpkin puree, or other fruits. Use a water bath to prevent cracks during baking. Chilling the cheesecake significantly improves its texture and flavor.
