The Real Thing Cheesecake

(makes 14 servings)

1	teaspoon margarine
4	tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
4	cups low-fat cottage cheese
1/4	cup sugar
1 1/4	cups sugar substitute, such as Splenda
1/4	cup all-purpose flour
1	tablespoon grated lemon or orange zest, or a combination
2	8-ounce packages of low fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4	cup nonfat sour cream
1	large egg
8	ounces egg substitute
1	tablespoon vanilla extract

Pre heat oven to 300° F.
Grease a 10-inch spring form pan with margarine. Place the graham cracker crumbs in the pan and pat into the bottom and sides. Set aside.
Strain the cottage cheese though a sieve over a bowl for 30 minutes.
Place the cottage cheese in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Add the sugar, sugar substitute, flour, and zest. Process for at least 2 minutes until it is smooth and light in texture. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft. Add the sour cream, egg, egg substitute, and vanilla. Beat slowly until incorporated. Mix in the cottage cheese mixture quickly so that air bubbles don't form. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake in the bottom 1/3 of the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Turn the oven off and allow the cake to cool in the oven. Remove, run a sharp knife around the outside edge and bring to room temperature. Chill for 4 to 8 hours before serving.
