As a seasoned home baker, I'm excited to share this gourmet cottage cheese cheesecake recipe. It's straightforward to prepare, uses affordable ingredients, and delivers restaurant-quality results right from your kitchen.
These ingredients serve 6 people:
- 200 g biscuits (speculoos or Petit Beurre de LU)
- 100 g butter
- 500 g cottage cheese
- 25 cl whipping cream
- 150 g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon liquid vanilla
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (thermostat 6).
2. Crush the speculoos or Petit Beurre biscuits into fine crumbs. Melt the 100 g butter, combine with the crumbs, and mix well. Press the mixture firmly into a cake mold and bake for 10 minutes at 180°C.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, whipping cream, and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the pre-baked crust and bake for 25-35 minutes at 180°C.
4. Let the cheesecake cool completely, then unmold and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is ideal).
Serve this cheesecake extra chilled for the best texture. Enjoy it plain with coffee, or elevate it with raspberry coulis for a gourmet touch.
Skip the bakery prices— this cheesecake costs just €4 to make, the same as a single slice in a top pastry shop. You'll get a full cake to share, customize as you like, and know it's fresher and tastier than anything store-bought.
