Here are some of my favorite ways to dress up cottage cheese.
"Butterfinger" Cottage Cheese
1 serving cottage cheese
1/4 packet dry SF chocolate instant pudding mix (leave it powdered)
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
Stir all three ingredients together.
Lemon or Lime Cheesecake
2 boxes of lemon or lime sugar free Jell-O (I’ve also used cherry and strawberry)
1 3/4 cups of boiling water
2 cups cottage cheese (I use a 24 oz container of Light & Lively)
2 tablespoons of sugar free cheesecake pudding mix (about ½ packet)
I use a 4 cup glass measuring cup for the first step.
Boil water. Dissolve Jell-O into boiling water. Add ice to make about 3 ½ cups of liquid.
Pour mixture into a blender container. Add cottage cheese and pudding mix. Blend until mixture is completely smooth. Pour into individual dishes and refrigerate until set.
Baked Pumpkin Custard
1 large can pure pumpkin (I think it's 29 oz)
1 1/2 cups low or nonfat cottage cheese
1 1/2 cups Splenda
1 1/2 cups Eggbeaters
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Process all in the food processor until well-mixed and smooth. Spray six custard cups with PAM. Divide mixture equally in cups. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes or until top is lightly browned.
