  • 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

  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) Salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine Graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 6-inch springform pan.
  3. Pre-bake the crust at 325°F (162°C) for 8 minutes.
  4. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, honey, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  5. Process on high for 60–90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no visible curds remain.
  6. Pour the blended filling over the pre-baked crust.
  7. Bake at 325°F (162°C) for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  8. Allow the cake to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  9. Transfer to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set the texture.
