Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz Greek yogurt
- 7 1/10 oz cottage cheese
- 3 1/2 oz pistachios
- 2 pcs eggs
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 325°F (329°F).
- 2Place a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom of a 9‑inch springform pan, allowing excess to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
- 3In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until they form a fine crumb; set aside a small handful for garnish if desired.
- 4In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ground pistachios, maple syrup, and cornstarch.
- 5Whisk the mixture until completely smooth, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to incorporate fully.
- 6Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- 7Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are lightly golden.
- 8Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 15 minutes to prevent cracking.
- 9Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to come to room temperature on a wire rack (about 30‑45 minutes).
- 10Refrigerate the cooled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to fully set.
- 11Before serving, run a thin knife around the edge of the pan, release the springform, and lift the cheesecake using the parchment overhang.
- 12Garnish with the reserved pistachio crumbs and, if desired, a drizzle of additional maple syrup.
- 13Slice into six equal portions and enjoy.
