Just wanted to say you can use 8 oz package of FF cream cheese in place of 1 cup of the cottage cheese, Fage greek yogurt in place of sour cream, and 3/4 c protein powder (I used Cytomax from Costco) to significantly up the protein count and it still is delish! -
Pretty good substitute for regular cheesecake, with the added benefit of protein! I added a little low sugar strawberry jam to the top of the cheesecake as well as some Cool Whip. Aside for the gritty texture that the cottage cheese inevitably adds, this is excellent! -
This is a great idea and a pretty good "cheesecake".I used stevia and agave nectar for sweetening and used 1/4 c ff sour cream and 1/4 c ff plain yogurt.The lemon was very nice but I think I may use a little less potein powder next time as that is definately the dominant flavor.I baked it for 30 min. at which time the edges were puffed and browned and the center was set.I'm looking forward to making this again.Thank you!

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
