Ingredients

  • 2/3 cups of HerbaZest Amaranth Flour
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour (+ 1 TBS)
  • 1/3 cup of brown sugar (+ 3 TBS)
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (cold)
  • 1 cup of farmer's cheese (or cottage cheese)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of greek yogurt (heaping)
  • 1 cup of blueberries

Directions

This rustic blueberry cheesecake features a creamy, lightly sweet filling nestled between a buttery crumble base and topping. Amaranth adds a distinct nutty note and a more wholesome feel. Juicy blueberries bring freshness and a gentle burst of sweetness, making it a simple yet satisfying bake.

  1. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, amaranth flour, cold butter, and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Rub the ingredients together with your fingers until a crumbly texture forms. Set aside. (5 minutes)
  2. In another bowl, add the farmer's cheese, eggs, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar. Break up the cheese and mix until smooth and uniform. Add the Greek yogurt and mix again, then stir in 1 tablespoon flour until fully combined. (5 minutes)
  3. Spread half of the crumble evenly in a small baking dish lined with parchment paper. Top with the cheese mixture, then scatter the blueberries over it. Finish with the remaining crumble on top. (5 minutes)
  4. Bake at 350°F (176°C) for 40-50 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is set. (50 minutes)
