These little desserts have a smooth, soft and creamy texture. The yoghurt and cottage cheese add a cheesecake flavour that is delicious.
Ingredients
180 ml plain, smooth, low-fat cottage cheese
175 ml low-fat yoghurt
15 ml sugar
15 ml cornflour
5 ml vanilla essence
2 eggs
119 g tin granadilla pulp
12 to 18 medium strawberries or orange segments
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Whisk all the ingredients, except the strawberries or oranges, together until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture between six individual ovenproof dishes or ramekins.
3. Place dishes on a baking tray and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until just set. To test, gently shake the tray to see how firm it is. It will continue to set as it cools down.
4. Turn off the oven and allow to cool down in the oven. Refrigerate and allow to cool completely.
Serve cold with 2 to 3 strawberries or orange segments per person.
Tip
Grate 1 to 2 blocks of dark chocolate over the cheesecakes; or garnish with toasted nuts, coconut or cocoa powder.
Allow 1 hour cooling time
