I think this version of my cottage cheesecake is a little easier than the first version . This version adds 5 calories for the knox gelatin. The baked version adds 16 calories for an egg white. You have to bake the other version also, but you can decide for yourself what works for you!

Strawberry Topping:

125 grams of strawberries (40 calories)

1 Tbl. of Splenda (or 1 pkt of Truvia)

1/4 tsp. vanilla

Cut strawberries into small chunks.

Strawberries Cut Up Into Chunks

Combine strawberries and sweetener in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Hot Strawberry Sauce

Strawberries and sweetener will start to melt and form a sauce. Cook for approximately 8 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Let cool in refrigerator until cheesecake is ready.

No Bake Cottage Cheesecake Ingredients:

113 grams (1/2 cup) Cottage Cheese (Daisy 2%= 90 calories)

3 Tbl. Splenda

1 Tbl. lemon juice

1/2 tsp. Knox Gelatin (5 calories)

Cottage Cheese, Lemon Juice, and Knox Gelatin

Gather ingredients for your cheesecake.

113 Grams of Cottage Cheese

Weigh out 113 grams of cottage cheese. Blend cottage cheese until creamy. Add sweetener and lemon juice. Blend well. In a separate bowl, add 1/2 tsp. of knox gelatin to 1/8 cup of boiling water. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Slowly pour into cottage cheese mixture. Blend until mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour into a small bowl and chill for 2-3 hours.

No Bake Cottage Cheesecake

Using a butter knife, loosen the cheesecake by running the knife around the inside of the bowl. Place a plate over the bowl and flip over onto the plate.

No Bake Strawberry Cottage Cheesecake

Pour strawberry sauce over your cheesecake. Enjoy!

I’ve been thinking about cheesecake lately. I decided to try a version made from cottage cheese. ( Click here to view the No Bake version of Cottage Cheesecake ).

Strawberry Topping:
125 grams of strawberries (40 calories)
1 Tbl. splenda
1/4 tsp. vanilla

Cut strawberries into small chunks. 

Strawberries and Splenda in Saucepan

Combine strawberries and sweetener in saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Hot Strawberry Sauce

Strawberries and sweetener will start to melt and form a sauce. Cook for approximately 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and let cool in refrigerator until cheesecake is ready.

Cottage Cheesecake Ingredients:

113 grams (1/2 cup) cottage cheese (Daisy 4%=110 calories; 2%=90 calories)
3 Tbl. splenda
1 Tbl. lemon juice
1 egg white (16 calories)

Blended Cottage Cheese

Blend cottage cheese until creamy.  Add sweetener and lemon juice and mix well. Whip egg white into stiff peaks. Fold into cottage cheese mixture.  Line a small ramekin with foil strips, so you can pull it out and place it on a plate for the strawberry sauce.

Cottage Cheesecake Ready For The Oven

Pour cheese mixture into the ramekin and bake for approximately 40 minutes at 350 degrees or until knife comes out clean.

Cottage Cheesecake Cooling

Set aside and allow to cool before removing from ramekin.

Cottage Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce

(As you can see from the picture above, I did NOT let my cheesecake cool before pulling it out of the ramekin. Once I poured the strawberry sauce on, it started to lose its shape.)

Once your cottage cheesecake has cooled, lift out of ramekin by foil. Unwrap and place onto a plate. Top with cooled strawberry sauce. Enjoy!
