Ingredients

2 1/3 cup cottage cheese (1% small curd)
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat)
2 eggs (large organic)
1/4 cup maple syrup (sugar free, pure, or your preferred liquid sweetener)
1/8 cup monk fruit (or swerve or sugar substitute of choice)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

1
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you're using a standard pie or cake pan, line it with parchment paper for easy removal. If you’re going with a prepared pie crust (like I often do), just set it aside for now.
2
Blend Until Smooth: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy—no lumps should remain.
3
Mix It All Together: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, sweetener (like monk fruit or Swerve), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the blended cottage cheese mixture until everything is fully combined.
4
Pour & Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pie pan, cake pan, or directly into the crust of your choice. Bake for 1 hour, or until the center is just set and the edges are slightly golden.
5
Chill & Serve: Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better!). Slice, serve, and enjoy your lighter, protein-packed cheesecake!
