Instructions

Line a 9-inch spring form pan with parchment paper on the bottom. Spray the sides of the pan with cooking spray.
Place graham crackers, sugar and butter into a food processor and pulse a few times. Add 1 tbsp water and pulse a few more times until it has a texture of coarse meal.
In a blender add the cream cheese, cottage cheese and lemon zest and blend together until it is really smooth.
Preheat oven to 350°F
Gently press the crust into the lined pan. Set aside.
Add the eggs one at a time and mix.
Add the vanilla extract, sugar and flour into the cottage cheese mixture and pulse until blended.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the pan. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, until the cheesecake is set.
Let it cool on a rack, then place in fridge for at least 4 hours or as long as overnight.
Top with fresh berries if using (or topping of your choice) and cut into 12 slices.
