Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 c graham cracker crumbs
16 oz cottage cheese, small curd
16 oz cream cheese, softened (2- 8 oz pkgs)
1 1/2 c sugar
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 c argo cornstarch
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c butter, melted
16 oz sour cream
**THIS CAKE CAN BE GLUTEN FREE IF YOU SUBSTITUTE GF GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS FOR THE REGULAR ONES. I HAVE ALSO USED GF BUTTER COOKIES FOR THE CRUST. IT'S DELICIOUS, EITHER WAY.

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan, and dust with graham cracker crumbs. Set aside
  • 2. In large mixing bowl, mix cottage cheese and cream cheese together at high speed until well blended and creamy. Then add sugar and eggs. Reduce speed to low, and add cornstarch, lemon juice and vanilla. Add melted butter and sour cream. Blend on low speed.
  • 3. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, until firm and starting to brown around edges. (the cake will rise above pan, then settle back down). It does crack on top, even with a pan of water placed in the oven.
  • 4. Turn oven off, but let cake stand in the oven for 2 hours. Remove from oven, and cool completely on a wire rack. Chill overnight for best results. Serve plain, or with your favorite fruit topping.
