Step 1
A dietary cheesecake should be light. Many people make them using cookies or baking flour-based crusts. I prefer a lighter version and don't use flour at all. So, crack the eggs into a bowl, add sugar (5 to 6 tablespoons), baking powder, and a pinch of salt if desired.

Step 3
Add the cottage cheese. I don't strain the cottage cheese through a sieve because I like the little lumps.

Step 4
Add semolina and knead until a smooth dough forms.

Step 7
Pour the white dough on top. Spread evenly. The white dough will be slightly thinner, as cocoa gives the mixture density.

Step 8
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake the cheesecake for 30 minutes until done. A golden crust will form on the surface. Serve the slightly cooled cheesecake cut into pieces.
