Dietary cheesecake with ricotta and cottage cheese: low-calorie baking recipes, lemon and chocolate options, with oatmeal and in a slow cooker

This dessert can easily be called one of the most ideal desserts for those who adhere to proper nutrition and want to lose extra pounds. Why? On average, the calorie content of such a dessert ranges from 100 to 150 calories per 100 grams. But the calorie content of a regular cake can reach 500 calories! In addition, this dish is rich in protein, because the main filling is cottage cheese or low-fat cream cheese. In addition, during cooking you will use a lot of other ingredients that are useful for losing weight: oatmeal, bran, fruits and even vegetable puree!

Diet cheesecake base

If you want to cook a truly dietary dish, then, first of all, you need to make the right base. You may have seen in photos on the Internet that the bases of pp desserts are different from regular ones. It's all about the right ingredients that will make the base low-calorie. So what you need to know:

Do not use regular wheat flour. Instead, replace it with whole grain, rice or flaxseed. You can also mix different types of flour.

It's good to use oatmeal instead of flour. They can be ground in a blender until flour or simply chopped. If you like a crispy base, you can leave it as is.

The bran can also be used as a base. This will significantly reduce the calorie content of the dessert.

To make the dough sweet, do not use sugar. Any natural sweetener will do: honey, stevia, agave syrup and others.
To bind the dough together, use low-fat kefir and natural yogurt. These products contain much fewer calories than butter and vegetable oil.
When preparing the dough, you can also use dried fruits crushed in a blender; they are ideal for oatmeal. This base doesn’t even need to be baked first. It is best to use dried apricots or figs. By the way, due to the fact that figs are sweet, you don’t even need to add a sweetener.
You can also use fruit to hold the base together. The ideal choice is a banana. Banana puree is quite viscous, and this base does not require baking.

Banana muffins: pp recipe

Timeless classic

First, let's look at a low-calorie cheesecake that is as close to your favorite one as possible. The egg is beaten well, two tablespoons of flour made from oat bran and cottage cheese are added - soft and certainly low-fat. All this is mixed with the addition of a third of a spoon of baking powder. If desired, you can add a spoonful of diet cocoa. The dough is thinly distributed into a silicone mold (without any oil! It won’t stick anyway), which is put into the oven for ten minutes. During this time, you will just have time to dissolve 20 grams of gelatin in half a glass of milk, and it will swell. For flavor, you can add a little lemon juice and vanilla. The mixture is heated until the gelatin dissolves and mixed with 150 grams of creamy, zero-fat cottage cheese and sweetener. The resulting mass is poured onto the cooled crust, and the diet cheesecake is placed in the refrigerator. It will set in a couple of hours, but to achieve the required density it is better to keep the dish cool all night.

Tips for the housewife

The idea of cheesecake belongs to the inhabitants of Ancient Greece. Today the dish is recognized as America's favorite dessert. In our country, cottage cheese pie also quickly caught on and was loved by people of all ages. Restaurant menus often feature different variations of cheesecake. Not everyone knows how to cook it at home to preserve its soft texture, delicate taste and fabulous aroma. You will succeed in making a cottage cheesecake the first time if you know a few culinary secrets and follow simple recommendations:

Use a springform pan. This is the only way to remove the dessert intact without damaging it.
Line the bottom of the mold with parchment, having previously cut out an element of the desired size.
You need to choose the “right” cheese. Traditional recipes use fatty varieties, such as Philadelphia. If you are watching your figure, it is better to cook with ricotta. This is whey cheese, which allows you to reduce the calorie content of the dish. Ricotta cheesecake is tender, soft and juicy.
You can cook in the oven, multicooker and microwave. The most useful dessert is the one that is prepared without baking. You can also cook in a water bath.
You need to beat the dough at low speed (if you are using a blender or mixer), but it is better to do it manually using a whisk.
You can cook without gelatin or with the addition of this thickener.
If you are cooking in the oven, it is important to cool the dessert properly so that it does not lose height or shape. To do this, after turning off the oven, the dish should remain in it for another half hour. Then open the door and leave it for 10 minutes. Then the curd dessert is removed, cooled at room temperature and placed in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

The finished dish should be decorated with berries, dried fruits, and fresh fruits. It is better not to use jam, condensed milk and sour cream. Cheesecake will be an excellent breakfast for the whole family, and dessert can also be served at the holiday table.

PP cheesecake in a slow cooker

If you have a desire to bake pp cheesecake in a slow cooker, you can do it according to any recipe you like. But you should know the following cooking rules:

The cheesecake should be baked using the “Baking” setting.

Before putting the base and filling into the slow cooker, line the bottom with parchment paper. And not just lay it, but make sides, for which you will then take out the cheesecake. The sides must be at least 3-4 cm.

After the Baking program has stopped, leave the cheesecake in for another 60 minutes. We do not open the lid. Let the dessert brew and cool slightly.

Then we take out the container and put it in the refrigerator. After a few hours, the dessert will harden and you can take it out.
