Method

  1. Line the mold with a crinkled parchment paper liner.

  2. Preheat the air fryer or oven to 375°F.

  3. Pour the cottage cheese (or Hacendado Crema Creme estilo COTTAJE) into a clear glass mixing bowl.

  4. Scrape the container with a utensil to get all the cheese into the bowl.

  5. Add the two eggs and honey to the bowl and mix until smooth, achieving a creamy interior texture.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: smooth cheese mixture. Mix until the eggs and honey are evenly incorporated into the cottage cheese.

  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold.

  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the top is caramelized/browned.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: caramelized browned top. Bake until the surface is browned and the center has set.

  8. Let the cheesecake cool.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: cooled cheesecake. Let it cool before serving so the creamy center settles.
