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 !
