Description

This quick and easy Breakfast Cheesecake recipe offers a healthy and delicious start to your day. Made with cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, it’s a protein-packed treat lightly sweetened with maple syrup and enhanced with subtle citrus or vanilla notes. Baked until just firm, it’s served chilled with fresh raspberries and extra yogurt for a creamy, fruity finish.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 drops food-grade lemon oil or vanilla extract

Toppings

  • Raspberries (to taste)
  • Additional plain Greek yogurt (to taste)
  • Maple syrup (for drizzling)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your cheesecakes.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, and lemon oil or vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky texture.
  3. Divide Batter: Pour the blended batter evenly into two ramekins, making sure to distribute it equally for uniform baking.
  4. Bake: Place the ramekins in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are just firm in the center but still soft and creamy.
  5. Cool and Chill: Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate until completely chilled; this helps the texture set perfectly and intensifies the flavors.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, top each cheesecake with extra Greek yogurt, fresh raspberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness and color.

Notes

  • Using food-grade lemon oil adds a pleasant citrus aroma; vanilla extract is a great substitute.
  • For a dairy-free version, try substituting with vegan cream cheese and yogurt alternatives, though the texture may vary.
  • Chilling the cheesecake thoroughly is essential for best texture and flavor.
  • Serve immediately after adding toppings to keep the raspberries fresh and yogurt creamy.
