What are PP cheesecakes
To prepare dietary cheesecakes, it is not necessary to use zero-fat cottage cheese; a product with a fat content of 5% is also quite suitable. Cheesecakes will turn out to be higher in calories, but also more healthy, since calcium is practically not absorbed from low-fat cottage cheese.
- The cottage cheese must be ground well or beat in a blender until it becomes homogeneous.
- You can add raw eggs to cheesecakes, but you can do without this ingredient. In some recipes, yolks are excluded; only whipped whites, which contain no fat, are added to the dough.
- Flour is added to regular cheesecakes; a dietary version can be prepared without this ingredient. You can replace flour with semolina, but the caloric content will practically not differ from those prepared with flour.
- Healthier versions of cheesecakes are prepared with oatmeal, rice or corn flour. You can add apples or other fruits.
- But you need to be careful with sugar. Instead, you can use sweeteners, or completely avoid sweet additives.
Advice! Be sure to use spices - vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest. These additives will significantly improve the taste and add an appetizing aroma.
Cheese pancakes are baked in the oven. If the dough is thick, then it is formed into balls, which are placed on a baking sheet covered with a silicone mat or parchment.
If the dough turns out watery, then it is better to put it in silicone molds. It is advisable to use silicone ones, since they do not need to be lubricated with oil.
Interesting facts: cottage cheese is a product ideal for weight loss; it can be eaten at any time of the day, including in the evening. The recommended amount of cottage cheese depends on the calculated protein intake. As a general rule, it is recommended to consume 1 gram of protein for every kilogram of weight.
