Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) cottage cheese, dry curd (drained if necessary)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) erythritol (or preferred sweetener)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 g) Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) cream
  • 3 tbsp (33 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Toppings

  • 8 thin Oreo cookies (for topping)
  • 3/4 cup (100 g) raspberries (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare dishes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare 4-6 small baking dishes or ramekins by lightly greasing them or lining if preferred.
  2. Blend cheesecake mixture: Using a blender, hand blender, or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, erythritol, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, heavy cream, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring a silky texture for the cheesecake.
  3. Fill the baking dishes: Evenly pour the blended cheesecake mixture into the prepared baking dishes, filling each about 3/4 full. This leaves enough space for the toppings to be added without overflow.
  4. Add toppings: Gently top each cheesecake with crunched Oreo cookies and a few fresh raspberries, adding texture and a balance of sweet and tart flavors.
  5. Bake the cheesecakes: Place the baking dishes on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. The tops should turn lightly golden but not browned.
  6. Cool and chill: Allow the cheesecakes to cool to room temperature once baked. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let them firm up fully for the best texture. These cheesecakes can also be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute erythritol with any other preferred sweetener like stevia or monk fruit based on your taste and dietary requirements.
  • If you want a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Make sure to drain the cottage cheese well if it’s watery to avoid a soggy texture.
  • For extra smoothness, consider blending the cottage cheese first alone before adding other ingredients.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor contrast; frozen can be used but may release more moisture.
  • These cheesecakes are excellent for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
