Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
- Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 15 minutes. Then, remove it and let it cool to room temperature.
- Chill: Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
- Prepare Berries: While the cheesecake chills, wash and prepare your mixed berries.
- Top the Cheesecake: After chilling, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and top it with the mixed berries.
- Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of color.
