ABOUT Baked Greek Yogurt Cheese Cake RECIPE

Indian foods are sufficient enough to make us nutritionally efficient. Even though we may be obsessed with our rice and roti, our traditional Indian diet composes of healthy ingredients. One of which is curd, when i was a kid my mom used to ask me to have, 1 cup curd atleast in one meal. I loved it too, sometimes in form of savoury riata or sometimes sweet curd. Today I do the same, but my son is a picky eater and he doesn't like to have curds and I have found interesting ways to sneak curd into his meals. This recipe is one of many such ways. And the Cake is so tasty (healthy too) he asks for more. So I've given a Catchy name to it "Baked Yogurt Cheese Cake"

Ingredients Serving: 6

For Crust; 50 grams butter
120 grams Marie biscuits
For filling; 400 grams hung curd
3 eggs
100 grams powdered sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon melted butter to brush the sides of pan

Instructions

In a mixer grinder add broken marie biscuits and add melted butter grind till you get crumbly mixture.
Grease sides of a 7 inch spring form pan with the extra teaspoon of melted butter. Preheat oven on 160C with fan for 10 minutes.
Put the biscuit crumble in the bottom of pan and press tightly.
Bake it for 15 minutes.
For filling keep all ingredients at room temperature at least for 45 minutes. I prepared 400 g yogurt by straining 1 litre normal curd in a cheese cloth.
Beat yogurt till smooth and fluffy
Add half of the sugar and beat.
Now add rest of the sugar and beat.
Add salt, vanilla extract and lemon juice and beat
Now add eggs one by one and keep beating till well incorporated. Change the oven setting to 230C with fan. High temperature for first 10 minutes required to pasteurize the eggs.
Pour batter in the spring pan.
Bake on 230C for 10 minutes. Do not open the oven in between.
After 10 minutes bring the temperature to 120C and bake for another 1 to 1&1/2 hours. Until the centre becomes firm and cake leaves sides of pan.
Leave the pan on a rack for 1 hour to cool. Slowly run a knife around the edges of the pan.
Cover with cling film. Keep the cake with the pan in refrigerator to chill for 2 hours
I kept the cake overnight. Before serving Carefully open the Spring pan and slide the cake on to a dish with the help of spatula.
Slice and drizzle with some honey. Garnish with mint leaves Nd walnuts.
Enjoy this health low in calorie cake with your lives ones.
