Ingredients
Scale
36-42 sweet thin crackers
1/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/3 cup maple syrup
6 tbsp all-purpose flour
1-2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preaheat the oven to 350*F
To Make The Crust:
1. Place the Simple Mills sweet thins into a gallon-size ziploc bag and crush the cookies until they are tiny crumbs. Place into a bowl and mix with melted butter. Set aside.
To Make The Cheesecake Batter:
1. Place all the ingredients into the blender - cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice and flour.
2. Blend the ingredients until thoroughly combined. I stop the blender a few times to scrape down the sides as necessary.
Put It Together and Bake:
1. Place the spring form pan with the crust on a sheet pan. This will help catch any butter that might melt or batter that may leak through the cracks.
2. Pour the batter on the crust. Place into the oven and bake for 1 hour.
3. If the cheesecake moves slightly but is not wet in the middle, then it is done baking. If the cake is still liquidy in the middle, bake for an extra 15 minutes.
4. Cool the cheesecake on the table for 2-3 hours. Place into the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight and allow to set completely.
5. Enjoy the next day once chilled.
