Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line the bottom of the baking pan with baking paper, and lightly grease the edges with coconut oil.
2
In a blender, mix the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla. Blend just until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
3
Using a spatula, stir in the almond flour and grated lemon zest by hand. The mixture will be relatively runny, which is normal for this type of cheesecake.
4
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Carefully arrange the apricot halves, cut side up, on top.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes. The edges should turn golden brown, while the center should still slightly "jiggle" when the pan is moved.
6
During the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle sliced almonds over the cheesecake so they turn nicely golden.
7
Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan before slicing, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so the texture fully sets.
