LIGHT GERMAN CHEESECAKE 
CRUST:

3/4 c. crushed Rusk crumbs
1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 tbsp. butter

Mix together the crumbs, powdered sugar, and butter and press into a greased pie plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

FILLING:

4 eggs or egg substitute
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
1 c. lowfat milk (2 percent)
1 lb. "lite" style cottage cheese
Juice and grated rind of 1 lemon
1 tsp. vanilla
Strawberries and sliced kiwi fruit (or other fruit) to garnish

Place the eggs, sugar, flour, milk, cottage cheese, lemon juice and rind, and vanilla in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth and pour slowly into prepared crust.

Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack; chill in the refrigerator and garnish before serving. May be frozen. For a party, double the recipe and use a 9x13 pan.
