Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 1 cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese --
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 325ðF (165ðC).
  2. 2
    Lightly grease the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with butter or cooking spray.
  3. 3
    Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the greased bottom of the pan, then gently press them down and remove any excess.
  4. 4
    Place the cottage cheese in a blender and blend on medium speed until completely smooth and liquid.
  5. 5
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, softened Neufchatel cheese, sugar, and flour. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended and smooth.
  6. 6
    Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.

    Mix in the skim milk and vanilla extract until just combined.
  8. 8

  9. 9
    Bake for 40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
