Ingredients

• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia blend)
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined, forming a coarse, crumbly texture.

Step 3

Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan using the back of a spoon or your fingers to create an even crust. Set aside.

Step 4

Using a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar substitute using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Step 6

Add blended cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until well blended and smooth.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

Step 9

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for about 1 hour to cool slowly. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 10

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely.

Step 11

Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake before releasing the sides of the springform pan.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your sugar-free cottage cheese cheesecake!
