Christmas cheese cake

Ingredients:

240g/8oz cottage cheese (or Ricotta)
240g/8oz cream cheese, spreadable
1 tbsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
1/3 cup Erythritol (or 3/4 Cup Caster Sugar)
100g unsalted Pistachio nuts, crushed and sifted

20cm/7in Spring Cake Tin

Christmas cheese cake

Cooking:

1. Preheat oven to 175C/347F.
2. Beat cheeses, vanilla essence and stevia using an electrical mixer until the mixture is consistent.
3. Then add one egg at a time and continue beating.
4. Put about 15g/ 0.5oz of pistachio flour aside and gradually add the rest into the mixture, then amaranth flour, and continue beating.
5. Mix yoghurt and soda together to react. The yoghurt will become airy if there is enough acidity. Otherwise add a few drops of lemon juice. Add to the cheeses and mix until all combined well.
6. Prepare the cake tin. Use a single layer of baking paper at the bottom and double width for the sides.
7. Transfer the mix into the form and lay out about a half of raspberries on top of the cake gently pressing so that not the whole berry sunk into the cheese cake. Bake for 35 minutes with no fan.
8. When the cake is ready, let it cool in the tin. Then remove and when completely cooled dust with saved pistachio flour and decorate with raspberries. To finish off with decorations, use icing sugar if desired.christmas cheese cake

    Somebody asked me if the cottage cheese can be replaced by Ricotta cheese. Yes, you will get a very similar result, just the cake will be smoother.
