Cheesy Cheesecake

         I am trying to find a cheesecake recipe which used cottage cheese and ricotta cheese. Can you help me please? Thanks

Hi Peggy,

I hope this recipe matches your request. I use cottage cheese and ricotta cheese interchangeably. I didn't find any recipes with both of these cheeses in them. Happy Cook'n,
