Fit Basque Peach Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 180 g Peaches (Peeled)
• 4 Eggs
• 350 g Greek yogurt
• 150 g Low-fat cream cheese
• 70 g Sweetener (The indicated quantity is the amount used by the author; adjust according to the sweetening power of the product.)
• 20 g Cornstarch
• Cream flavoring (To taste; the author uses a pastel de nata-style flavoring.)
• Sliced peaches (Optional topping, quantity to taste.)
• Honey (Optional topping, quantity to taste.)
• Lemon juice (A splash, for the optional topping.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat a conventional oven to 190 °C. Line an 18 cm round cake pan with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Peel the peaches and weigh out 180 g. Place them in a blender together with the 4 eggs and blend until smooth.

3. 3

   Transfer the peach and egg mixture to a large bowl.

4. 4

   Add the Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, sweetener, cornstarch, and cream flavoring.

5. 5

   Whisk by hand until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth, with no obvious lumps.

6. 6

   Strain the mixture through a sieve directly into the prepared pan to remove any lumps and achieve a smoother consistency.

7. 7

   Bake in the conventional oven at 190 °C for 40-45 minutes. The surface should be nicely browned and the center still slightly jiggly.

8. 8

   Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.

9. 9

   Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill and set it for approximately 4 hours.

10. 10

    Before serving, optionally garnish with sliced peaches, a drizzle of honey, and a few drops of lemon juice.

One comment suggests optionally lowering the temperature by 15 °C while keeping a similar baking time and monitoring the doneness; however, the main recipe specifies 190 °C for 40-45 minutes.
