Let’s be honest: dessert has a bad reputation.
- A “cheat”
- A craving you resist
- A moment of indulgence followed by guilt
But THIS cheesecake?
It’s your high-protein secret weapon.
Creamy. Rich. Silky. Lightly sweet. Satisfying.
And the best part? It works with your goals — not against them.
It’s become a weekly staple in my home. It replaces:
- Late-night sugar cravings
- Emotional snacking spirals
- Dessert FOMO at family gatherings
This is not a compromise. This is a full YES.
Let’s dive in.
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C)
- Line a springform pan or 8″ round baking dish with parchment paper
Step 2: Blend the Base
- Add Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, sweetener, vanilla, and lemon juice to a blender or food processor
- Blend until smooth and creamy (no lumps!)
Step 3: Pour & Bake
- Pour the mixture into your prepared pan
- Tap to release air bubbles
- Bake for 35–45 minutes — center should jiggle slightly
Step 4: Cool & Chill
- Let cool at room temp, then chill in fridge at least 3 hours (overnight = best texture)
Step 5: Add Final Touch
- Dust with unsweetened cocoa or cinnamon
- Optional: top with berries, protein chocolate drizzle, or Greek yogurt frosting
