Tips & Variations

  • Use frozen berries straight from the freezer for a thicker texture, or fresh berries for a juicier bake.
  • Swap almond flour for oat flour if preferred, but note it may alter the texture slightly.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
  • Try adding chopped nuts or seeds on top before baking for added crunch.

Storage

Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy cold. This bake can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

How to Serve

The image shows a white rectangular dish filled with a thick, creamy baked cheesecake with a slightly golden top. The cheesecake has multiple layers: the bottom layer is smooth and light beige, the middle layer is creamy white with visible red and black berries mixed in, and the top layer has a mix of whole and partially crushed raspberries and blackberries scattered across, giving it a rich red and dark purple color contrast. A spoon with a woman's hand holding it is lifting a square piece of the cheesecake, clearly showing the soft, moist texture inside. The background is a white marbled surface with a soft focus of extra berries in the back. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese?

Yes, but full-fat cottage cheese provides a richer texture and flavor. Using lower-fat versions may result in a slightly less creamy bake.

Can this recipe be made dairy-free?

To make it dairy-free, substitute the cottage cheese with a plant-based yogurt or silken tofu, but the texture and taste will differ from the original recipe.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 3 large Eggs
  • ½ cup Almond Flour
  • ¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup (or sugar-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder

Fruit

  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency free of lumps.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl. Add almond flour, honey or maple syrup (or your choice of sugar-free sweetener), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Fold in Berries: Carefully fold in the mixed berries by hand to avoid crushing them and ensure an even distribution through the batter.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly to make sure it bakes uniformly.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
  7. Cool Before Serving: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and makes it easier to cut into portions.
