——–
Ingredients:
1 cup cottage cheese 2%
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 egg large
2 tbsp sugar
1.5 tbsp almond flour
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
zest of a lemon
Optional Toppings:

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and grease a springform pan. A 6-inch pan is preferable, but if you don’t have one, you can use a larger pan and double the recipe.
2. Blend the cottage cheese and yogurt until you have a smooth texture. Make sure there are no lumps!
3. Add the remaining ingredients (except your toppings) and combine until everything is mixed in nicely.
4. Pour your mixture into the pan and bake for 30 minutes. You’re looking for a smooth but solid cheesecake. It should jiggle a little, but shouldn’t be too loose.
5. Let your cheesecake cool completely, and then pop it in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
6. Arrange your choice of toppings on your cheesecake and serve!

Recipe Note: Get creative with your toppings! You can try fresh fruit, nuts and seeds, granola, and much more.
