Instructions

Oven 165°C / 330°F · 8x8 inch (20cm) square pan, parchment lined

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 165°C / 330°F and line the pan.

  2. 2

    Mix oat flour, almond flour, melted butter and crust allulose; press firmly into the pan and bake 9 minutes.

  3. 3

    Simmer strawberries until juicy, mash and cool.

  4. 4

    Blend cottage cheese until silky, then blend briefly with cream cheese, yogurt, filling allulose, eggs, cornstarch and vanilla.

  5. 5

    Pour over the crust, dot with strawberry puree and swirl gently with a skewer.

  6. 6

    Bake 30-35 minutes, until only the centre trembles. Cool, then chill at least 2 hours before slicing.

Doneness test

Edges are set and the central 5cm wobbles together like soft jelly.

Cooling

Cool gradually, then chill fully before lifting and cutting with a warm knife.

Smart substitutions

  • Blended cottage cheese for most of the cream cheese

    Raises protein while reducing fat.

    Texture: Silky when thoroughly blended, with a slightly lighter body.

  • Fresh fruit swirl for jam

    Avoids added sugar and keeps the berry flavor vivid.

    Texture: A softer, less sticky ribbon.

Pro baking tips

  • Keep blending after the curds disappear for the smoothest filling.
  • Do not over-swirl or the top turns uniformly pink.

Make it even lighter

Swap an ingredient for a lower-calorie one, use less of it, or skip it altogether — with an honest note on what it does to the taste.
