  • 32 oz 900g farmers cheese
  • 8 eggs
  • 8 oz 250g non fat greek yogurt
  • 6 oz 165 g powdered sugar
  • 2 oz 50g semolina flour
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Separate the Eggs
  2. Whip the Egg Whites
  3. Mix the Yolks with Sugar, and add Yogurt gradually
  4. Process farmers cheese in a food processor to make it smooth
  5. Add the Farmers Cheese a bit a time
  6. Add Semolina flour and incorporate
  7. Fold in the Egg Whites
  8. Prepare a springform baking Pan (9inch) by greasing it with butter and sprinkling bread crumbs. Or you can just line it with parchments paper
  9. Bake the cheesecake at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes.
  10. Turn the oven off and crack it open slightly for the cheesecake to cool
Chocolate Ganache
  1. While the cheesecake cools, I make a simple chocolate ganache.
  2. For the ganache, all you need is chocolate (dark or milk) and whipped cream.
  3. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler (a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water works wonders)
  4. Add in the cream to make it thinner
  5. Spread over the cheesecake
