Tips for Perfect No-Bake Cottage Cheese Cheesecake
1. Use a Quality Cottage Cheese
Choose small-curd or smooth cottage cheese, and ensure it is well-drained for a creamier texture.
2. Adjust Sweetness
If you prefer a sweeter cheesecake, increase the amount of honey or maple syrup to your liking.
3. Enhance the Base
Use flavoured biscuits like ginger snaps or chocolate cookies for the crust to add flavour.
4. Experiment with Flavors
Mix in cocoa powder, citrus zest, or even a splash of almond extract to customize the filling.
