You’re bound to see loads of cheesecake recipes out there at this time of year…or maybe you have a favorite that you’ve been making year after year! But if you want to try a really delicious one that has half the fat and calories of most cheesecakes, this is it. My friend Rivka B. gave me a taste of hers last year and I loved it immediately. The smooth texture, lightness, and full flavor are a great combination. Thank you, Vicky S., for sharing the recipe. For more delicious cheesecakes like this one, see our post The Ultimate Cheesecake Roundup.
1 sleeve low-fat graham crackers
1 (16-ounce) container low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup sugar or 1/2 cup + 1/6 cup Health Garden Allulose
2 eggs
2 teaspoons Gefen Lemon Juice
2 teaspoons Gefen Vanilla Extract
2 tablespoons Gefen Cornstarch
1 (5.5-ounce) container plain nonfat Greek yogurt
shavings of bittersweet chocolate, such as deeBest premium chocolate in caramel flavor
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9-inch disposable or springform round pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In the bowl of your food processor, blend graham crackers until finely ground and press into the pan.
In the food processor (or in your blender), blend cottage cheese and sugar for a few minutes, until very smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, cornstarch, and Greek yogurt, and blend again until well combined. Pour over graham cracker crumbs.
Bake for 38 minutes. Turn off oven. Leave cheesecake in oven for approximately 2 hours to set.
How Would You
Rate this recipe?
do I have to use a blender? will it work to mix with a fork?
I would recommend using some type of blender to get the batter super smooth, you don’t want it to get lumpy.
cheesecake recipe question do i leave the cake in the oven for 2 hours with the oven door closed?
Yes, leave the oven door closed.
Greek Yogart What can I use in Israel instead of Greek Yogart?
You could use gevina levana instead.
recipe so if we use a 9 inch springform use 2- 16 oz cottage cheese and 2 – 5.5 yogurts but leave all the other ingredients the same?
Hi! She says to double the cheese mixture, that also includes doubling everything in this step:
In the food processor (or in your blender), blend cottage cheese and sugar for a few minutes, until very smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, cornstarch, and Greek yogurt, and blend again until well combined. Pour over graham cracker crumbs.
use flavored yogurt like lotus… delicious and free.
This is an amazing recipe that didn’t make me feel deprived! So smooth and so light! Delicious with no guilt 🙂
This recipe looks great can I make it ahead and freeze it?
yes!
DELICIOUS! my blender was having a hard time blending it so I used a hand blender (didnt like the texture of the crust)
Incredible! This cheesecake can easily compete with its cream-cheese-loaded competitors! It is creamy, rich and truly delicious despite its lower calorie ingredients. Plus it was really easy – I used a store-bought graham crust and prepared the filling with a stick blender in one bowl. I will definitely be making this many times. Thank you!
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed this recipe!
