Set aside.In a food processor or blender, cream the cottage cheese until smooth (in a blender, add milk as needed for smooth blending). Add sugar and lemon zest and whir again to mix.If using a food processor, transfer creamed cottage cheese mixture to bowl and proceed using a wire whisk.Add milk and mix well. Add lemon juice and mix well. Add flour and mix briefly until combined with no floury bits left.Pour cheesecake into pan with crust. Bake at 350F for 50-60 minutes, until the sides are set (may have cracks or be lightly golden) but the center is still jiggly and slightly sunken. Let cool fully on counter, then refrigerate until cold (overnight).Cut into eighths. 1/8 of the cheesecake is 206 calories - a light breakfast, dessert, or snack.NOTE: Do not leave out the lemon zest or juice. This cheesecake has no cream cheese, and the strong lemon flavor is necessary - and yummy.Do add spices to the crust - ginger is our favorite.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LOLLIE1979.
