HEALTHY 6" CHEESECAKE (MADE WITH COTTAGE CHEESE) LOW CARB &
After much tweaking, this is my beloved cheesecake recipe. I always have a slice of this in my fridge. I love that I can eat it and not worry about my hips paying for it later. This recipe is for a 6" cheesecake, which makes a lovely five servings. Who needs a massive one anyway? I would eat way too much. Need a 8" cheesecake? Add a full 8 oz. of cream cheese, two full eggs, and increase sugar to 3/4 cup.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

- Pour all the mixture into a 6" springform pan that has been sprayed with PAM.
- Place in the oven and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees without opening the door. Bake another 20 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted 1" from the edge reaches 155 degrees.
- Remove from the oven. Run a knife around the edge. Let cool on the counter with a hot pad holder on top to keep it from dropping temperature too fast. After 30-45 minutes move it to the fridge and chill eight hours, or overnight.
- Yummy Variations: Just omit lemon juice and then. . .
- Chocolate Truffle: Add 1/4 Celsius cocoa powder and increase sugar to 3/4 Celsius Add 1-2 oz melted bittersweet chocolate for more richness.
- Pumpkin: Add 1 cup canned pumpkin, 1/2 t. cinnamon, 1/4 t. allspice, 1/8 t. nutmeg. If you love pumpkin spices a lot, double them (I do).
- Chocolate Chip: Stir 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips to the batter before baking (sub 3/4 t. mint extract for a mint chocolate chip).
- Peanut Butter: Add 1/2 cup peanut butter with the cottage cheese.
- Banana-Walnut: Add 3/4 cup mashed banana with the cottage cheese. Stir in walnuts right before pouring mixture into the pan.
- Ricotta: Keep lemon juice. Sub 1/2 the cottage cheese for ricotta.
- Fruit Swirled: Keep lemon juice. Swirl in preserves or sugar free spread into the top of the cheesecake before baking.

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.
