Why I Like this Recipe
I like this recipe because it’s simple and uses everyday ingredients to make something really satisfying. The curd cheese keeps it soft and creamy while still being high in protein. I often keep a batch in the fridge for a quick, sweet snack.
Tips and Variations
- Use low-fat curd cheese and yoghurt if you want to keep it lighter while still getting plenty of protein.
- Swap vanilla protein powder for a natural one and add a pinch of cinnamon or a little vanilla extract for flavour.
- Use whatever fruit you have. Blueberries, raspberries, cherries or a mix all work well.
- Add a bit of lemon zest to the cheese mixture for a fresher taste.
- Serve the baked curd cheese warm with a spoonful of natural yoghurt for extra creaminess.
- It’s just as good chilled, especially as a quick high-protein snack.
- If nuts work for you, a small handful in the crumble adds a nice crunch.
Meal Storage
Keep the baked curd cheese in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The texture becomes firmer and slices cleanly.
Freezer tips
Freeze in individual portions, well wrapped or in an airtight container, for up to 2 months.
Defrost overnight in the fridge. Reheat gently or enjoy chilled.
