Cottage Cheese & Greek Yogurt Cheesecake

This Cottage Cheese & Greek Yogurt Cheesecake is a delicious, rich dessert but without all the calories, sugar, and carbs! You can enjoy this cheesecake with or without a crust. I chose to serve mine with a store-bought pecan pie crust to make it easy! The macros below do not include a crust and you will have to adjust depending on what you decide to use! Try topping your cheesecake off with my homemade Healthy Blueberry Jam and it won't disappoint!

Ingredients

  • Cottage Cheese - 2 1/3 cup of 1% small curd cottage cheese.
  • Greek Yogurt - 1 cup of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt.
  • Eggs - 2 large eggs.
  • Maple Syrup - 1/4 cup of maple syrup. I like to use the brand Lakanto because it is naturally sweetened with monk fruit! Pure maple syrup or any liquid sweetener of choice will work.
  • Swerve/Monk Fruit - 1/8 cup granular Swerve, monk fruit, or zero calorie sugar substitute of choice.
  • Vanilla Extract - 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  • Salt - Pinch of salt.

How To Make It

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a standard pie pan or cake pan with parchment paper, or if you are using a prepared pie crust like me, set that aside.
  2. In a food processor, blend the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt together until smooth and creamy. There should be no more lumps.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs, syrup, swerve, salt, and vanilla, and cottage cheese mixture.
  4. Pour batter into your pie/cake pan or pecan crust. Bake for 1 hour. Chill at least 4 hours in the fridge and enjoy!

Where's The Cream Cheese?

I get this question a lot! This is a cheesecake, but not your typical cream cheese cheesecake if that makes sense! I used cottage cheese instead to cut the fat and calories down! If you want that classic cream cheese flavor, you are more than welcome to substitute some of the cottage cheese or Greek yogurt with some low fat cream cheese as a 1:1 ratio!

How To Store Leftovers

You can store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
