Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Digestive Biscuits (or Graham Crackers)
  • 150 g Smooth Cottage Cheese or Cream Cheese - ⅔ cup
  • 200 g Greek Yogurt - ¾ cup
  • 40 g Liquid Sweetener - 2 tbsp
  •  Juice of Half a Lemon
  • Zest of 1 Lemon

Instructions
 

  • Crush the digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) into fine crumbs. Divide between two small jars or glasses and press down gently to form the base.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese (or cream cheese), Greek yogurt, liquid sweetener, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
  • Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the biscuit base, smoothing the tops.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 10 minutes (or longer if you have time) to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Top with extra lemon zest or a thin slice of lemon, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

TIPS & NOTES:
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the brightest, most natural flavor. Avoid bottled lemon juice if possible.
  • Blend the cottage cheese or cream cheese until smooth for a silky, creamy texture.
  • Adjust sweetness to your taste - start with less liquid sweetener and add more if needed.
  • The biscuit base can be swapped for any crunchy cookie you like or even granola for a different twist.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and cottage cheese with unsweetened coconut or soy yogurt and a dairy-free cream cheese alternative.
 
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your cheesecake pots will come out perfectly.
