Ingredients

16 ounces fat-free cottage cheese
3/4 cup 0-fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar or monk fruit
2 eggs
1-2 crushed graham crackers optional
top with fruit optional

Instructions

Add the cottage cheese, 0-fat Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, salt, flour, and sugar to a blender. Then, blend these ingredients until smooth.
Pulse the eggs into the cheesecake batter in the blender.
Spray a non-stick muffin pan with oil. Then, pour the cheesecake batter into the muffin pan. This recipe makes about 7-9 individual cheesecakes.
Bake the cheesecakes in the muffin pan at 350°F for 12-14 minutes. The cheesecakes will pouf up when baking and fall as they cool.
Once done, let the cheesecakes cool at room temperature for 35-45 minutes. Then, carefully remove the cheesecakes from the muffin pan and store them on a sheet pan or airtight container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate them for at least three hours, preferably overnight so they have enough time to set. As they cool they will have a thicker consistency.
Once chilled and ready to serve, top with optional crushed graham crackers to mimic a crust. Also, you can add fresh fruit on top.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers of this cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Cottage Cheese: Low-fat and full-fat cottage cheese also work.
Graham Crackers: We made this a crustless cheesecake. For the classic graham cracker crust flavor, sprinkle some crushed graham crackers over the top of the cheesecake before serving. This is much easier and faster than making a crust and you get the same delicious flavor.
