To make the cheesecake filling
1. In a food processor or blender ( I used my immersion blender)blend the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt together till smooth.
2. Add the eggs , maple syrup , extract and flour into the cottage cheese mixture. Blend till you get a homogeneous batter .
3. If using the strawberry powder , keep 1/4 of the batter and mix it in very well . Add it to the rest of the pan and mix it as shown in the video.
4. Pour everything into the pan. Bake in the oven for about 60-65 minutes , until the cheesecake is set.
5. Let the cake cool on the counter before transferring to the refrigerator. It needs to be in the fridge for at least 6 hours but overnight is best . Top it with strawberry compote or your favourite topping . Enjoy
