Family loved it! There were no left overs after it was brought out. It had a great flavor, and if made properly is a wonderful, easy dessert.

The first time I did this I followed the recipe as is. Turned out really really good and everyone loved it. The second time I made it I substituted strawberries for the blueberries for the topping sauce and the decoration. It turned out so good too and the sauce has a delicate pink colour which looked really great with the sliced strawberries on top. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I will certainly do it over and over again during the summer especially.

This was so refreshing. Perfect after a heavy meal. I used diet lemon Jello to make it more calorie friendly. The light lemon taste is just right and you do not taste the fact that there is cottage cheese in the recipie.

I covered the top with Cool Whip around the edges and filled in the middle with fresh blackberries. I imagine you could use any fresh fruit. A low calorie WINNER !!

I made this cheesecake for Easter and it was okay but not great. I didn't like the consistency of it. I have made no bake cheesecakes before and don't mind them. This was a little disappointing. There was no "wow" factor to it.

I changed it up a bit, just 1-1/2 cups low fat cottage cheese, then 1-1/2 cups low fat cream cheese and then put it in2 pre made low fat cookie crusts and made strawberry topping. it was good but the cottage cheese did not cream up like I expected, if I make it again it would be with all low fat cream cheese. I also added the lemon zest, so I guess I didn't make THIS recipe but made it my own.

I made this for Easter it was a lite change from the normal cheesecake felt it needed just a little more flavor. I will make this again but will add some lemon zest

My son, who hates cottage cheese love this.

I waited to tell him what it was made from until after he tasted it. All who came to Easter Dinner loved it.

I made this for Easter dinner, but my family was not excited about it. Guess they wanted something more decadent
