Notes
For best texture, ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature before blending.
Blending thoroughly is essential to remove any graininess from the cottage cheese.
Avoid over baking, as the cheesecake will continue to firm up while cooling.
Flavor improves after several hours of chilling.
