While I was immersed in my kitchen adventures, I remembered that I had a bag of ground flax seeds stored in the wall cabinet. Naturally, the next thought that crossed my mind was, Why not try making a cheesecake with them?
So, with excitement in my heart, I started creating a cheesecake with a little twist—a crust infused with flax seeds.
The result?
The Keto Flax Cheesecake, which turned out to be a delightful treat. It may not be an otherworldly experience for your taste buds, but when you consider the abundance of good proteins it offers, the slightly bitter aftertaste can be happily ignored.
Before I share the recipe with you, I want to mention that I didn’t have any ready-made cream cheese on hand. However, I didn’t let that deter me. Instead, I decided to use a combination of hung curd and fresh cottage cheese as a substitute. To make the cottage cheese, I took a liter of full cream milk and transformed it into approximately 200 grams of delectable cottage cheese. As for the hung curd, I always make sure to keep some in my fridge.
