Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180C).

Bake Crust

  1. Mix together the crust ingredients in a mixing bowl, and press the crust into the bottom of 8 inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven.

Cheesecake Filling

  1. Place the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, sweetener, eggs and vanilla extract into a blender or food processor, and pulse until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour the filling mixture over the crust in the springform pan.

Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Bake the cheesecake for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and set, and the center is still just very slightly jiggly.

Cool the Cheesecake

  1. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, and then carefully remove the ring from the springform pan.
  2. Chill the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.
  3. Top with whipped cream, fresh fruit or a fruit glaze.

Notes

  • Before you store the cheesecake in the fridge to set up, make sure that it is completely cool so that condensation doesn't build up. 
  • For an ultra-smooth cheesecake filling, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This helps everything blend together seamlessly without lumps.  
  • Be sure to use confectioner's sugar-free version of sweetener to avoid a gritty texture. 
  • Avoid over mixing the batter, as incorporating too much air can cause cracks during baking.  
  • To prevent the cheesecake from sticking to the pan, lightly grease the sides and use parchment paper for easier removal.
