Ingredients: For the Cheesecake: 1 pound Cottage cheese 1 cup cream 5 large Eggs 1 1/4 cups Sugar For the Sauce: 1/2 cup orange juice 3 tablespoons honey
Directions:TO MAKE THE CHEESECAKE: 1. Pour the Cottage cheese into a sieve set over a pot and let it drain overnight in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, to remove any excess moisture. 2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a blender, mix the drained cottage cheese with the cream until smooth. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Eggs and Sugar until slightly thickened. Stir the cheese mixture into the egg mixture. 3. Pour the cheesecake mixture into a glass loaf pan, about 8 x 4 x 2 inches. Place the loaf pan in a larger pan and pour hot water into the outside pan until the water comes halfway up the outside of the inside pan. Bake for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, or until the cheesecake is lightly browned on top and set. Turn the oven off and cool the cheesecake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving. TO MAKE THE SAUCE: Pour the orange juice and Honey into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and boil until thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside. WHEN READY TO SERVE: Turn the cake out onto a plate or cutting board. Cut the cake into slices and serve with a drizzle of the orange honey sauce on top. |
