Simple Baked Cheesecake (4 Ingredients)

This simple baked cheesecake needs just four ingredients and one bowl — no crust, no water bath, no fuss — yet it comes out creamy, light, and gently golden. It is the kind of dessert you can throw together on a quiet afternoon and serve proudly. If you love easy cottage cheese bakes, you will also enjoy our Baked Cottage Cheese Dessert with Orange Zest and our Royal Cottage Cheese Cheesecake with Strawberry.

Ingredients

• 980 g soft cottage cheese (5%)
• 3 eggs
• 25 g cornstarch
• Sugar or sweetener to taste

Instructions

1. Mix everything together and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40 minutes (know your oven).
2. After 40 minutes the top will still look soft — it firms up completely as it cools.

Tips

• Use soft, smooth cottage cheese and blend the mixture well — any lumps will show in the finished cake, so a quick blitz with a blender helps.
• Do not be tempted to open the oven early: the top will still look soft after 40 minutes, and that is exactly right — it firms up completely as it cools. For more cheesecake know-how, see the baking guides at Allrecipes.
• Serve chilled with fresh berries or a drizzle of honey, and for another cottage cheese favorite, try our Cottage Cheese Crust Pizza — it works brilliantly as a light lunch.
