Low-calorie banana cheesecake: how to replace the usual ingredients

Cheesecake has always been considered a rather high-calorie dessert because it is based on a layer of shortcrust pastry and a lot of cottage cheese filling. But if you replace some ingredients, this cake will turn out to be quite dietary, moderately sweet, and very tender. And the cooking technology is much simpler than the traditional one.

The idea was shared by nutritionist Alla Kovaliova on her Instagram page.
