Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1½ sheets Graham Crackers (22g)
Filling
- 1 cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese (225g)
- ¼ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 22g)
- 1 Egg
- ½ cup Blueberries (74g)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large 3-cup baking dish thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange graham cracker base: Place about 1½ graham cracker sheets evenly on the bottom of the prepared dish to form the base layer.
- Blend filling: In a blender, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, and egg. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then gently fold in the blueberries with a spoon, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour mixture into dish: Pour the blended cottage cheese and blueberry mixture over the graham cracker base, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake to set: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The bake is ready when the top is set and slightly golden. Adjust baking time depending on how firm you prefer the texture.
Notes
- Feel free to use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, no need to thaw before adding.
- You can substitute graham crackers with digestive biscuits or similar to change the flavor of the base.
- For a dairy-free variation, try using plant-based cottage cheese alternatives and vegan protein powder.
- Ensure not to overblend the blueberries to keep their shape and texture intact.
- Let the bake cool slightly before serving for best texture and easier slicing.
