Yum...this was pretty good. Nice, light, fluffy texture. I did add 1 tsp of lemon extract (I like lemon!) and used fresh raspberries between the crust and the filling, and then again sprinkled on top (instead of the pie filling--too much sugar) This made it a very low calorie, lowfat, and low sugar dessert. -
I was going to submit this recipe until I saw your. I got this recipe from TOH Light and Tasty magazine. I used all reduced fat products and substituted ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese. This was very easy to make and a nice light dessert.

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
