Equipment

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 6 sheets graham crackers (3.5 oz total*)
  • 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener ( or use granulated sugar)
  • 3 tablespoons cold whipped butter

For the cheesecake:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (I like Philadelphia)
  • 2 1/3 cups 2 % cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (not packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup monk fruit (or sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • optional fruit (for topping)

Instructions

  • Line a 9-inch spring form pan with parchment paper on the bottom. Spray the sides of the pan with cooking spray.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F

To make the crust:

  • Place graham crackers, sugar and butter into a food processor and pulse a few times. Add 1 tbsp water and pulse a few more times until it has a texture of coarse meal.
  • Gently press the crust into the lined pan. Set aside.

To make the cheesecake filling:

  • In a blender add the cream cheese, cottage cheese and lemon zest and blend together until it is really smooth.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix.
  • Add the vanilla extract, sugar and flour into the cottage cheese mixture and pulse until blended.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter into the pan. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, until the cheesecake is set.
  • Let it cool on a rack, then place in fridge for at least 4 hours or as long as overnight.
  • Top with fresh berries if using (or topping of your choice) and cut into 12 slices.
