Ingredients
  

  • 1 large frozen banana chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons milk of choice dairy-free if needed
  • ¼ cup smooth fat-free ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice optional

Instructions
 

  • Blend the ingredients: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine all ingredients and process until thick and smooth.
  • Chill: Transfer the mixture into a glass or small bowl, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Substitutions & Variations
Greek Yogurt Swap: Use Greek yogurt instead of ricotta or cottage cheese for an ultra-smooth texture. Blend until just incorporated for best consistency.
Dairy-Free Option: Replace the ricotta with cultured coconut yogurt for a plant-based alternative. If the mixture is too thin, add a pinch of arrowroot starch to thicken.
Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cheesecake, increase the sweetener to taste. The banana naturally adds sweetness, so this is optional.
