How to Make Golden Door Spa Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine 16 ounces ricotta cheese, 8 ounces cottage cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs (or equivalent egg substitute), 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon cornstarch to the blender. Blend until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cheesecake may appear slightly jiggly in the center, this is normal.
  6. Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Once chilled, decorate with your favorite fresh fruits (berries, sliced peaches, kiwi, etc.) and serve.
  8. Yields 12 servings.
