Cottage Cheese Cheesecake
"Low fat alternative to a regular cheesecake. I made this for my husband who is a diabetic and he loved it. Original recipe calls for brown sugar but I substituted the brown sugar with splenda."

It was pretty good for a low fat cheesecake, however I ommited the lemon juice and strawberries and instead used vanilla extract and add red corant! my family really liked it -
For a low-fat cheesecake, this was excellent! I doubled the sugar (I used white) and put in two whole eggs. Instead of going in the lemon-direction, I used 1/2 t. vanilla extract and 10 drops almond essence. I had leftover Double Fudge Icing and spread this on the crust before pouring in the cheesecake filling -- yum!
