Cottage Cheese Pie

This is adapted from a Fannie Farmer recipe. It has the texture and taste of cheesecake, but it’s super healthy and quite low in calories. I only use a 1/3 cup of sugar, so it’s quite sharp and zingy!

One graham cracker pie shell

Filling:

1 lb cottage cheese (2 cups)

1/3 c sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 c light cream

3 eggs, well beaten

2 T melted butter

Grated zest and juice of one lemon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Press the cottage cheese through a fine sieve, and then add the rest of theingredients. Mix well, and pour into the prepared pie shell. Bake for an hour and allow to cool before serving.

I like to serve this pie with a twist of lemon, and I think I nice big dollop of whipped cream would go with it beautifully! I must try serving it with fresh raspberries in the summer, that would be heavenly!
