Ingredients:
- 24 oz low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 3 tbsp Equal sugar substitute
- Graham crackers or low-fat cookies, crushed (for crust)
- Lo-calorie cherry topping or other fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- In a food processor or blender, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and Equal sugar substitute. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the crust by crushing graham crackers or low-fat cookies into fine crumbs. Press the crumbs evenly onto the bottom of a pie dish to form the crust.
- Pour the creamy cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
- For an extra layer of flavor and texture, crumble additional graham crackers or cookies on top of the cheesecake.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least a couple of hours or until set.
- Serve chilled, optionally topped with lo-calorie cherry topping or your choice of fruit.
Tips:
- For a festive touch, garnish the cheesecake with fresh cherries or lemon slices before serving.
- To reduce the prep time, you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust instead of making one from scratch.
- Experiment with different fruits for the topping to suit your taste preferences or seasonal availability.
- Adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less Equal sugar substitute according to your preference.
