Cheesecake Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

6 graham wafer squares
1 1/2 tbsp margarine, melted
1 tbsp granulated gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1/3 cup boiling water
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
Sugar substitute equal to 1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp water
2 cups 4%-fat cream-style cottage cheese
1/2 tsp lemon extract
4 large strawberries
Vegetable pan spray, as needed

Recipe Instructions:

Prepare an 8- by 8- by 2-inch cake pan with vegetable pan-coating; set aside.

Make fine crumbs with graham crackers (1/2 cup) and mix thoroughly with melted margarine; set aside.

Soak gelatin in cold water.

Combine boiling water and lemon rind; add to gelatin. Add lemon juice and sweetener, stirring until completely dissolved. Chill until it is the consistency of unbeaten egg whites.

Put 2 tablespoons water, cottage cheese, and lemon extract into a blender or food processor and cover; turn to high speed for 10 to 15 seconds.

Add partially set gelatin mixture; turn to high speed 15 seconds or until well blended. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over top.

Wash, hull, and dry strawberries. Slice in halves lengthwise. Arrange on top of cake so that, when cut into eight servings (4 by 2 inches) each will have a strawberry garnish in center. Chill several hours, until set.

This recipe yields 8 servings.

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.”

~ Pearl Buck (1892-1973) American Nobel Prize winning author.
