This cheesecake is high in protein and retains all the creaminess of traditional cheesecake with a light yet dense texture. Top this with a fruit compote, fresh fruit or granola for a fun texture contrast!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (I used 2% but any kind will work) (227g/8oz)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (nonfat, 2% or full-fat will all work) (57g/2oz)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2.5 tablespoons sugar (32g)
  • 1.5 tablespoons flour or cornstarch (12g)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • Optional: yogurt, strawberries and granola for topping

    Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender and process until smooth and combined.
