🛒 Ingredients

  • 150g low-fat ricotta cheese
  • 100g non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 50ml non-fat milk
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
  • 15ml honey or agave nectar
  • 1 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 20g digestive biscuit crumbs (or graham cracker)
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon (optional, brightens vanilla)
  • 2 tbsp fresh berries for topping
  • 1 tbsp raw almonds, sliced

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Base Layer: In a small bowl, combine almond flour, biscuit crumbs, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix until resembling wet sand. Divide evenly between two serving glasses or cups (about 2 tbsp per cup). Press gently with the back of a spoon to compact.
2. Blend the Filling: Add ricotta, Greek yogurt, non-fat milk, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest (if using), and salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth—about 45 seconds—stopping to scrape sides once. Overmixing introduces unnecessary air.
3. Taste & Adjust: Sample a small spoonful. Add 1/2 tsp extra vanilla or 1 tbsp honey if you prefer more sweetness or vanilla intensity. Blend 10 seconds more to incorporate.

4. Layer the Filling: Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly between the two cups, pouring over the compressed base layer. Smooth the top with a spoon or small spatula.
5. Chill (Optional but Recommended): Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. This allows flavors to meld and the texture to firm slightly. You can serve immediately if pressed for time—it will be mousse-like and equally delicious.
6. Top & Garnish: Just before serving, top each cup with fresh berries, sliced almonds, and a tiny pinch of vanilla powder or cinnamon. A light drizzle of honey adds elegance without excess calories.
