I made this according to the recipe for our Easter dessert. The adults didn't like it; even the kids wouldn't eat it! It all got thrown out with the recipe. There are lots of lite recipes that are good...this is not one of them.

I'll admit it - I was skeptical. I've been burned by healthier dessert recipes in the past. I tried this one, though, and WOW! It's amazing! Definitely a keeper!

This is the best recipe ever! I HATE cottage cheese so I'm not sure what made me try this one but you honestly can't even taste it. This is the ONLY cheesecake I ever make anymore and it gets RAVE reviews. Thanks for posting it!!!
