I have made the cheese cake for the first time and it turned out to be very tasty ,may not be perfect in looks .My intention was to use less cheese as much as possible.Cottage cheese can give the volume minus the guilt.I had also used processed cheddar in smaller quantity.The cottage cheese was made at home and I used lime for curdling the milk.You can use store bought cottage cheese if you want.I am impatient as far as tasting food is concerned and cheese cake demands a lot of your patience indeed.This is gluten free and if you want to make it completely healthy ,omit cheese and double the quantity of cottage cheese.
I want to try more of these with a variety of flavors in future ..Happy cooking:)
