Low-Calorie Cheesecake

Makes 1 13 x 9 inch pan

Can’t imagine how many times I made this all time favorite cheesecake. Instead of using cream cheese, like so many recipes call for, this one calls for cottage cheese. I also use this recipe for the bottom of the pumpkin cheesecake.

ingredients

3 cups creamed cottage cheese
3 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
1/2 c. sour cream
2 T. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla
6 whole graham crackers
1 tsp.cinnamon

directions

1
Beat cottage cheese with electric beater until almost smooth. Add eggs, salt and sugar; until blended. Add flour, sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla; mix well. Crush graham crackers finely; mix in cinnamon. Spread crumbs evenly over bottom of 9x13 inch pan if using this for a
2
torte [like the pumpkin torte], otherwise pour in a 9x9 inch pan. Spoon cheese mixture carefully over crumbs. Bake at 300° for 1 hr. Serve thoroughly chilled. If you want, you can reserve some crumbs to sprinkle over the cheese mixture before baking.
