This baked cheesecake is super tasty and easy to make! With a peanut butter-rich base and topped with delicious sour cherries, it makes the perfect summer treat!
This recipe is healthier and lighter than most cheesecake recipes. How? Starting from the base, I use powdered oats instead of cookies. You will barely notice the difference but they have less fat, more fibers and proteins than your average cookie! I also use coconut oil and peanut butter instead of dairy butter and sugar. Healthier fats, more proteins and less sugar!
Moving onto the cheesy part: I am using two cheeses here, the ricotta and the cream cheese. Usually recipes call for cream, mascarpone etc. In this case, you get less fat but the taste is still awesome! The baked result is more on the dense side of cheesecakes, but I like mine like that 😉 for the yoghurt, you can use the base that you want (also fruit flavored!). I went for the vanilla, protein rich from Melkunie – I quite like them by themselves so I knew it would have aced the cheesecake too ;D I also use honey instead of sugar, for extra flavor.
If you don’t have sour cherries, feel free to use other fruits to top the cake with, even a mix of berries 😉 if you don’t want any topping, you might want to add an extra 5-10g of honey for extra sweetness! Buon appetito!
