Ingredients
  

Base
  • 1 cup 4% milk fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup plain non-fat (or whole milk) greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup stevia (or 2 tablespoons honey)
Optional Add-ins
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Garnish
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Whipped cream

Directions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place 4 oven-safe ramekins on a baking sheet and lightly grease or spray them.
  3. Add cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, stevia or honey, vanilla, and lemon juice (if using) to a blender or food processor.
  4. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Take out 4 ramekins and spray them with oil.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 4 ramekins, filling them almost to the top.
  7. Gently tap each ramekin on the counter to release any large air bubbles.​
  8. Transfer the baking sheet with ramekins to the center rack of the oven.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still have a slight jiggle when you gently shake the pan.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the ramekins cool to room temperature on a wire rack for 30–45 minutes.​
  11. Once cooled, cover each ramekin and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set (overnight gives the best texture).
  12. Just before serving, top each cheesecake cup with fresh strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.​

Notes

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These taste even better the next day as the flavors continue to meld while setting.
