GLP-1-friendly Japanese cheesecake

Plot twist: You can absolutely have dessert on a GLP-1.

Our philosophy? Balance over restriction, always. This high-protein Japanese cheesecake proves you don’t have to choose between your goals and enjoying something sweet. We kept it simple with cottage cheese for protein and Sweet Thins instead of Biscoff cookies—easy, delicious, and totally guilt-free.

Ingredients (makes 4 servings)‍

• 16 oz 2% low-fat cottage cheese (we used @good_culture )
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1–2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 16 Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins (we used @simplemills )

Directions

1. Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth and creamy using an immersion blender or regular blender.
2. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt, then mix until fully combined and silky.
3. Press each Sweet Thin vertically into the cottage cheese mixture, spacing them evenly around the container.
4. Cover and refrigerate overnight, allowing the mixture to thicken and set into a fluffy, cheesecake-like texture. Serve chilled.
