Adapted from an old newspaper clipping by food writer L. I made it without the water bath; left cheesecake in turned off oven until oven completely cooled. A keeper.
Ingredients:
1 pint low fat cottage cheese or 1 pint ricotta cheese
1/2 pint yogurt
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Blend all ingredients in blender just until smooth.
3. Pour into lightly buttered 9” square pan.
4. Place in pan of hot water and bake 40 min or til set.
5. Let cool and chill.
6. NOTE: The original recipe called for a 1-inch piece of vanilla bean, scraped. I substituted vanilla extract for the vanilla bean but kept Vanllla Bean in the recipe title.
