| I only replace ricotta with cottage cheese in lasagna. I think it would be all wrong in cheesecake. |

| problem is I forgot to buy cc and I have a child home with the stomach flu and cannot run out to the store-all I have is one block of cc and cottage cheese at home right now. I know it is not ideal but I was hoping someone had done it. |

| You can sub plain yogurt for some of the cream cheese. There is a Stonyfield receipe out there--google it. |

| Can you try putting the cottage cheese in a mini-food processor so at least you get the texture closer to cream cheese? Sounds interesting to me. it will certainly be healthier! |

| Cant you just make something other than cheesecake? |

yeah the reason I asked was that I came across several recipes for using cottage cheese but putting it into a blender first and then continuing on with the recipe. |

| What about halving the recipe and just having a very short cheesecake? |

| Actually, I have a recipe from my great grandmother for a cheesecake made with cottage cheese. It's light and lemony and delicious! |
