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

I made this for Easter. I used sugar free jello and splenda. My daughter is diabetic and I often make desserts she can eat. She loved this one and said it is the best one so far that I have made for her.

I love blueberries and cheesecake. Really don't like gelatin but tried it. Lets just say it was ok but it isn't cheesecake or blueberry topping.

I, too, used sugar free lemon jello and Splenda in this recipe, and I loved it! My husband loves to eat cottage cheese and blueberries and he really liked this newer version of one of his favorite combinations. I think it tastes a lot like cheesecake and I love how healthy it is for you.

I really like this recipe although I modified it to be sugar free and it turned out great. I just used sugar free lemon jello and instead of sugar I used 5 packets of Purvia (stevia)

I'm one of those folks that won't touch cottage cheese with a 10 foot pole. I talked to a couple of folks at work and they said that cheesecake with cottage was very good, so I decided to try it. I took this for Easter and everyone raved about it. When I told them it was cottage cheese instead of cream cheese, they were truly amazed at how delicious this was! I will definitely be making this again!
