Skinny Lemon & Strawberry Cheesecake
Description
This is a tasty recipe I came up with the other day when I had a large tub of Cottage Cheese (Cream Cheese) that I needed to use up.
I’ve called this a “skinny” cheesecake not only because it’s relatively low in fat/calories but also because once it has been baked and “sets” it is rather skinny in size – but still very tasty !
I garnished it with thinly sliced Strawberries, but you could use any other fruit you happened to have on hand or you could just leave it plain if you preferred.
Enjoy !

375 gm Low Fat Cottage Cheese (or Cream Cheese)
70 gm Castor Sugar (very fine white sugar)
1 tbsp Cornflour (Cornstarch)
2 eggs
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Punnet Strawberries, sliced, for garnishing
Preparation
Whisk all ingredients together and pour into a 21 cm round cake tin which has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
Bake at 200‘C/400’F/Gas Mark 6 for 40 to 50 minutes until golden, then turn the oven off, open the door & leave the cheesecake in the oven until completely cool. (When you turn the oven off it will still be slightly wobbly to the touch but will set as it cools down.)
Place in the fridge for around 2 hours to completely chill before serving.

This sounds delicious!! I will probably do something similar, but I will alter to reduce sugar. Will play around with maple, agave and fruit juices!

Sounds lovely and a great way to reduce the sugar & replace it with a more natural sweetness ;)
