Make it veggie!

Vegan variant: Replace cottage cheese with a thick plant-based yogurt (soy or coconut) or a mix of tofu + plant-based yogurt. Use vegan dark chocolate.

Extra protein boost: Add 1 scoop of plain protein powder to the filling.

Other flavors: Replace citrus zest with cocoa powder or cinnamon. Add blueberries or raspberries between the base and filling.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Soaking dried fruit: Deseed the dates and cut the figs in half. Soak them together in boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain and allow to drain well. 

Making the bottom: Coarsely chop the nuts with a knife or cutter (not into powder). Mix the soaked dates and figs into a sticky, caramel-like mass. Mix this thoroughly with the nuts. 

Line a springform pan or small rectangular baking pan with baking paper. Press the mixture firmly into a base of about 1 cm thick. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. 

Make filling: Crush the banana finely in a bowl. Mix in the cottage cheese, vanilla powder and lemon or lime juice. Mix or stir until a smooth, creamy mass. 

Divide the filling evenly over the cooled base. Refrigerate again for at least 1 hour. 

Finishing: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the mold and remove the baking paper. Place on a serving platter. Spoon fine lines of melted dark chocolate over it. Finish with zest of lime and orange.
