This dietetic cheesecake recipe is not only delicious but also high in protein due to the low-fat cheese. By using a natural sweetener, you make it healthier while reducing calories. Each serving provides a feeling of satiety thanks to the protein content and satisfies your sweet cravings without compromising your diet.
Necessary ingredients:
*For the cream:*
- 750 g low-fat cheese (3 packs x 250 g) - Choose a firmer type of cheese, such as Lacteea or Delaco, to achieve the perfect texture. If you can't find firm cheese, you can add a little gelatin for stability.
- A few tablespoons of Green Sugar sweetener (adjust to taste) - This is an excellent choice to avoid sugar and keep calories low.
- 1 vial of vanilla essence - for an extra flavor.
*For the base:*
- About 27 Dukan biscuits - Make sure they comply with the diet.
- 100 ml warm skim milk - This will help bind the biscuits.
- 2 tablespoons of low-fat cheese - to give consistency to the base.
*Additionally:*
- 50 g diet chocolate - for decoration.
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preparing the cream:
In a bowl, add the low-fat cheese, sweetener, and vanilla essence. Use a spoon or whisk to mix the ingredients until you achieve a smooth composition. It is important that there are no lumps, so take your time to mix well.
2. Separating the cream:
Set aside 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese cream to use at the end. The rest of the cream will be chilled in the fridge, so make sure it is properly covered.
3. Preparing the base:
Crush the Dukan biscuits in a food processor until you achieve a fine texture. This will ensure an even and tasty base. Transfer the crushed biscuits to a bowl and add the warm milk. Mix well and add the low-fat cheese. Start by adding a tablespoon of cheese and mix. If the mixture binds well, do not add the rest of the cheese. If it feels too crumbly, you can add a little more cheese.
4. Forming the base:
On a platter, place the ring of a 22 cm diameter cake pan, which you have lined with cling film. Add the biscuit mixture and flatten well with a spatula or the back of a spoon to create an even base. Place the pan in the fridge for about 20 minutes to firm up a bit.
5. Assembling the cheesecake:
Remove the pan with the base and the bowl with the cream from the fridge. Add the cheese cream over the base, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Cover the pan with cling film and leave it in the fridge for 1-2 hours, until the cheese firms up.
6. Decorating:
After the cheesecake has cooled, remove the pan from the fridge and take off the cling film. Melt the diet chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave, being careful not to burn it. Pour the melted chocolate over the cheesecake and use a spatula to create an attractive design.
7. Serving:
Cut the cheesecake into portions and serve it cold. It is delicious on its own, but you can also add some fresh berries for a contrast of flavors and a touch of freshness.
Useful tips:
- Make sure to use quality low-fat cheese to achieve the best taste and texture.
- If you want to enhance the flavor, you can add grated lemon or orange zest to the cheese cream.
- The cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for a few days, so you can prepare a larger quantity to enjoy throughout the week.
