How to Make 3-Ingredient Magic Cottage Cheese Cheesecake

PIN IT

Step 1: Prep the Pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan or round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Blend the Batter

Add cottage cheese, honey, and eggs to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy—this step is key for cheesecake texture.

Step 3: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 4: Cool & Set

Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing. The texture firms up beautifully as it chills.
