BLENDER CHEESECAKE

16ozs. cottage cheese

8ozs. cream cheese

8ozs. sour cream

1 cup sugar

1 Tbls. lemon juice

1 tsp. vanilla(I used 2)

4 eggs

1/2 cup flour

Mix all ingredients in blender in order given, starting with cottage cheese and ending with flour. Mix well. Grease a 10 inch deep dish pie plate with butter and pour in cheese mix. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake 325 for 40 minutes.*See my notes.

Cool and refrigerate. No crust, but you wouldn't know it, nor miss it.

(desertjean's)NOTES: I used fat free cottage cheese, low fat sour cream, 1/3less fat cream cheese, half splenda and half sugar. I wanted to make it a little less fattening. It still turned out beautifully and tastes very good. Instead of a blender, I used my food prossesor and it worked very well. Also, I had run out of vanilla, so I subbed almond extract.

AngAK's notes:to make it Pumpkin: I added 1 small can of pumpkin puree, 1tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice and no lemon. I had to make it Sugar free, so used 1/2cup Splenda and 1/2 cup Sugar Free Maple Syrup, and I also used the lite dairy products. After putting most of the ingredients in the blender I realized that no way no how was it all going to fit, so I had to dump it into my food processor to whir it up. this made a looser filling than the original, but with the 1/2 cup of flour, it turns out just fine in cupcake form. I poured the batter back into the blender so I could pour it out into the cupcake forms. I used autumn cupcake papers and a gingersnap cookie for the bottom crust. Baked for the 40 minutes since the batter was a bit looser than the original. a dollop of SF Cool Whip and a candy corn made a nice topping. They all disappeared at the pot luck lunch today at work. I'll be making this again for whenever I need a SF dessert for my good friend who is diabetic.

no bitter taste at all from the sweetener. I think the lower baking temp helped.

I don't like to cook with sweetener for lengthy cooking times. I find even Splenda will taste off, to me. when I made the low sugar apple butter, I cooked down the applesauce with just 1/4 cup of brown sugar and spices for about 8 hours in the crockpot, lid ajar. then added some Splenda at the end for more sweetening, but no more cooking. I do this for a special friend who is insulin dependent diabetic.
