CHEESECAKE SQUARES

Category: Bars

1 container (16 oz) cottage cheese
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar, divided
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 300. In a blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth; pour into a large bowl and add the cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar. Beat until evenly blended. Add the eggs, beating until well mixed. Pour into an 8 inch square baking dish and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and the vanilla; mix well. Remove the cake from the oven and spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool, then cut into squares.

NOTE: Top these with any in-season fruit from berries to tangerine or orange sections, or peach or nectarine slices!
