heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Ricotta provides a lighter texture with less fat

Line a 24 cm (9.5 in) diameter tin with parchment paper, crumpling the paper first for easier placement.

Set out cream cheese, sugar, and other ingredients to reach room temperature for 30-40 minutes before mixing.

Mix sugar and cream cheese until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl.

If the mixture is chunky, microwave for 15 seconds to soften the cream cheese.

Add salt, lemon juice, and mix until combined.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid incorporating too much air.

Mix cream with cornstarch to create a paste before adding to the batter to prevent lumps.

Combine the cream-cornstarch mixture with the rest of the batter, mixing gently to avoid overmixing.

Sieve the batter to catch any lumps before pouring it into the lined tin.
