Baked Maple Cheesecake—Prototype 1:
Crust:
4 oz. whipped lowfat cottage cheese (such as Hood, no salt added)
1/4 cup maple sugar
1/4 cup skim milk
Thoroughly blend these above 3 ingredients together. Afterward, quickly and
vigorously mix in:
2.2 oz. finely ground Bran Buds
Grease a springform pan, 9". For best results take the bath
approach—wrap this pan up to the sides with foil, in order to suppress
water leaks (heavy-duty aluminum is a good choice).
Mix thoroughly together:
2 tablespoons butter, softened or melted
1/2 cup maple sugar
Then blend in:
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Then mix in:
2 cups (such as a 16-ounce container) of lowfat cottage cheese (such as
Hood, no salt added)—whip this in a blender just until the curds no longer
show, before adding to the above ingredients.
Next add:
1/2 cup skim milk
Follow up gradually with a dry combination of:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Completely mix all of the above ingredients used so far, then finally add:
2 eggs (last ingredient here)—aim to get these at least fully mixed in (yet
without overbeating, if possible).
Make sure that the oven is preheated to 300 degrees. If using the bath
approach, have enough boiling hot water available, and fill a large
"tub" with it and place this in the oven, close to halfway up.
Pour the batter into the springform pan. Next, put this pan into the oven.
If using the bath approach, place the springform pan immediately above the
"tub" (not into it!). Bake for about 90 minutes. Afterward, take
the springform pan out of the oven, and let the cheesecake cool off. After
it has cooled down to about room temperature, carefully remove it from the
pan, and refrigerate.
