Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60g) Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp (28g) Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp (12g) Brown sugar
- 16 oz (450g) Low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large (100g) Eggs
- 1/3 cup (110ml) Honey
- 1 tsp (5ml) Pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp (1g) Salt
Instructions:
- Combine Graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 6-inch springform pan.
- Pre-bake the crust at 325°F (162°C) for 8 minutes.
- Place the cottage cheese, eggs, honey, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Process on high for 60–90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no visible curds remain.
- Pour the blended filling over the pre-baked crust.
- Bake at 325°F (162°C) for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
- Allow the cake to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Transfer to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set the texture.
