Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Cottage Cheese low fat or full fat

  • Pinch of salt

Method

  3. Pour into a bowl and stir in the flour and lemon zest.

Notes

  • The "Smoothie" Secret: For the most authentic cheesecake texture, do not skip the blending step. Blending the cottage cheese is what creates that velvety, "dessert-like" mouthfeel.
  • Blueberry Tip: If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first. Fold them in frozen to prevent the batter from turning grey/purple.
  • Sweetness Level: This recipe is "naturally sweet." If you prefer a more traditional dessert-style sweetness, increase the honey to $1/2$ cup.
  • Storage: This bake sets further in the fridge. It is delicious served cold the next day, much like a traditional cheesecake!
