I have been looking for postpartum recipes that are both indulgent and guilt-free, and if you are looking for the same, then you’ve landed in the right place! This Cottage Cheese Biscoff Cheesecake combines the yummy flavor of Biscoff cookie butter with the creaminess of cottage cheese. It’s low in carbs and high in protein and will help satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients You Will Need
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 2 eggs or substitution egg
- 1 scoop of cheesecake protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2-4 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to your desired sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
How to Make Healthy Protein Biscoff Cheesecake
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
In a high-speed blender, add all your ingredients: cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, Biscoff cookie butter, eggs, baking powder, maple syrup or honey, and a pinch of salt. If you add in enough elbow grease, you can even use a whisk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining. Since you can add everything into one bowel, it is super easy for any new baker as well.
Step 3: Pour and Bake
Pour the mixture into a circular oven-safe dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The cheesecake should be set in the center and slightly golden on the edges. If it has a bit of jiggle like jello, it is not an issue!
Step 4: Cool Down
Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. After cooling, cover it and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Right when you are ready to eat it, take your cheesecake out of the fridge. If you like, top it with additional Biscoff cookie butter and a few crumbled Biscoff biscuits for that memorable graham cracker crust flavor. If you prefer a healthier option, drizzle your favorite nut butter on top instead.
This Cottage Cheese Biscoff Cheesecake recipe is a dessert along with a protein-packed treat. You will be the talk of any party that you take this too or eat it yourself when you feel like you need a sweet treat to indulge in.
