Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fat-free quark (or fat-free plain Greek yogurt, strained)
- 3 Eggs
- 50 grams Sugar-free sweetener (e.g., erythritol or stevia blend)
- 50 grams Nonfat dry milk powder
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a 20 cm (8-inch) springform pan lightly, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the fat-free quark, eggs, and sugar-free sweetener until smooth and creamy.
Add the nonfat dry milk powder, cornstarch, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully combined and the batter is smooth.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the springform pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly golden on top.
Once the cheesecake is done, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar for about 10 minutes. This allows the cheesecake to cool gradually, preventing cracks.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
Before serving, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy this guilt-free dessert!
