4 Ingredient No Bake Cottage Cheesecake
This creamy cottage cheesecake doesn't require any baking or cooking. It needs just 4 ingredients and is easy to make. It is lighter than traditional cheesecake and high protein.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (455g) 4% high protein cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup (64g) natural cashew butter or natural peanut butter with no added oils
- 1/2 cup (4fl oz/118ml) honey
- 1 (6 oz/170g) graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, cashew butter, and syrup. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the machine as needed.
- Pour the mixture into your graham cracker crust. Lightly cover the surface and place into the freezer for about 3-4 hours (or overnight) until firm. When the cake is ready, the surface should feel firm but have a little bit of give if you apply pressure.
- If desired, you can garnish the cake with whipped cream before serving. Cut the cake with a sharp knife. If the cake is too firm to cut, you can let it soften a few minutes, but I found my cake was soft enough to cut right away. Serve cake while chilled. Store any uneaten cake in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- Cottage cheese note: This recipe works best with a high protein cottage cheese (14 grams protein per 1/2 cup serving). My favorite one to use is Nancy's cottage cheese.* You also need make sure to use a 4% cottage cheese, otherwise the cheesecake will be icy.
- I used Amazon Grocery graham cracker crust.*
