I barely know a person who hates cheesecakes. And the one who adores them is me:) As I'm crazy about healthy lifestyle I've practiced a lot to make a perfect healthy cheesecake: delicious, low-fat, high-protein and just perfect.
Here it is: the queen recipe of cheesecake.
The ingredients are quite simple:
3 middle-sized bananas
100 g almonds
30 g butter
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 vanilla pod, seeds scraped
1 vanilla pudding powder
1/3 cup raisins
1000 g low-fat cottage cheese
3 eggs
1 sweet pear
Tip! Most of the recipes are full with an enormous amount of sugar and empty calories. Therefore I've searched for healthy substitutes to make pies and other bakery a part of my healthy lifestyle. More information about the substitutes you will find in one of my following articles.
Before we start we have to preheat the oven to 180°C. Then take a 20-cm spring form and brush its bottom and sides with melted butter. For the crust make almond flour. Place almonds inside a food processor, coffee bean grinder or blender. Pulse until you get a fine, grainy consistency. In a bowl mix almond flour, butter and 1 mashed banana. If you want to have a sweet crust you can add some extra sugar of honey. Press the mixture into the bottom of your form. Bake it 10 minutes until the color is golden-brown.
In another bowl beat the cheese with 2 mashed bananas. Add vanilla pudding powder to ensure the smooth texture. Then add into the mixture raisins (previously soaked in the hot water), honey, cinnamon, vanilla seeds. If you want to check if it's enough sweet for you this is the moment to do it;) Add 3 whole eggs and mix it all thoroughly. Pour the filling onto the base. Peel the pear and cut it into slices. Decorate the cheesecake with pear slices. Cover the form with aluminium foil and bake in the preheat oven 15 minutes. Then decrease the heat to 150°C and bake another 50-60 minutes. 10 minutes before the end take the foil off and let the cheese become golden-brown.
Let the cheesecake cool down (I know its hard, cause it smells so good:) and take it out of the form.
Make a break and enjoy. A perfect combination with a home-made hot chocolate or a latte macchiato.
