This light and airy cheesecake is perfect for a satisfying breakfast or as a delicious treat. With its gentle balance of protein, healthy fats, and natural sweetness, it’s designed to nourish your body while still being incredibly delicious. And without the “bottom”, it’s ready for baking in just a few minutes!
Serving Ideas:
Serve with seasonal fruit; a handful or two of your favorite berries, or, as pictured, stewed apples – for additional fiber.
It would also be beneficial to add some nuts or nut butter for their healthy fats.
Gentle Nutrition:
Quark: Rich in protein, quark helps keep you full and supports muscle health. It also contains calcium, which is essential for bone and muscle health, also supporting your blood vessels and nerves.
Eggs: Best source of protein, also providing essential nutrients like choline which benefits memory, mood and muscle control, and Vitamin D nurtures bone and teeth health, reduces risk of certain diseases, supports immune system and helps you body absorb calcium.
Xylitol: I chose this natural sweetener because it helps avoid sugar spikes and is gentle on teeth, making it perfect for breakfast. Of course, you can use regular white sugar, or any other sugar you prefer.
