This recipe was good, but I probably wont be making it again. No one was just blown away by it, and they felt the orange flavor was a bit strong. Made for Thanksgiving.

I also found this in a Kraft recipe pamphlet. It is light, creamy & reminds me of the creamsicle ice cream bars.

This IS delicious. My mom made it for easter. It is a very light desert, both in texture and nutritionally. Ideal for diabetics. Make sure you blend the cottage cheese very well to ensure a smooth texture. I could see this cheesecake being good with all Light Jello flavours.
