Healthy, because
If you want to try something new when it comes to cheesecake, this recipe is just right for you! The special thing here - mild goat's cream cheese and aromatic apricots. Together, this not only results in a wonderful taste experience: depending on the type, goat's cream cheese has 21 percent protein per 100 grams. Our muscles are happy about that!
Even smarter
Goat's cream cheese provides a good portion of high-quality protein, but not everyone likes the piquant taste. Alternatively, you can also prepare the apricot cheesecake with cream cheese made from cow's milk. The filling will be especially loose if you separate the eggs beforehand. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold the beaten egg whites into the cream cheese-quark mixture - but gradually, using a whisk or dough scraper.
