Modern and healthy upgrade to an old family recipe! Okay...so THIS is definitely one you NEED to try! SO, so good!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Bottom layer (not really a crust):
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup ground walnuts
1/2 cup ground flax seed
3 1/2 whole graham crackers
4 TBSP butter or margerine
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
3 TBSP milk
***finely grind the walnuts, flax, flour, and grahams in food processor. Add remaining ingredients to make a thick batter. Grease a 9x13" casserole pan, and spread batter evenly over bottom.
Cheese topping:
2 cups cottage cheese (I used fat free)
1 cup sour cream (I used light)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
few dashes salt
***mix well, ensuring eggs are well incorporated into mixture. Pour cheese mixture over bottom layer, and bake for 35-45 minutes depending on oven. Watch during last 10 minutes to make sure not overdone.
Frozen Strawberry Compote:
2 cups whole, unsweetened, frozen strawberries
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp thyme
1 TBSP balsamic vinegar
Let ingredients set in food processor to soften for about 20-30 minutes. Then pulse until you get a finely diced texture. Spoon over the top of warm German Cottage Cheesecake and ENJOY!
Delicious! Moist, cheesy, berry goodness! |
