I recently borrowed Mom’s Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook: Lose Weight with 433 Foods You Crave! (affiliate link), which is so full of Weight Watchers friendly recipes I want to try, I’ll probably have to buy my own copy.
This low calorie no-bake lemon blueberry cheesecake is the third recipe I’ve tried so far from the book and it’s a winner!
Calling for cottage cheese and lemon gelatin, with a simple blueberry topping, it’s unlike any other light or no-bake cheesecake recipe I’ve ever seen.
A 4.5 Star Rating (based on more than 25 reviews) on the Taste of Home website, was just the confirmation I was looking for to make it sooner, rather than later, since blueberries are so plentiful and inexpensive right now.
The recipe called for non-fat cottage cheese, but I used regular instead, since that’s what I had in my fridge.
Recipe Notes
Truthfully, this no-bake low fat cheesecake turned out better than I’d hoped. Refreshingly lemony and incredibly smooth, its a perfect summer dessert—much lighter than traditional cheesecake.
Rod hasn’t been able to stay away from it, enjoying two pieces Sunday night and another last night. I love when I make something that’s this well received, not to mention so quick and easy to make.
Just had an update from Mom, whom emailed to say, “Had your cheesecake tonight (I’d forgotten it was in the fridge; so was quite sad looking), and the flavor was delicious! Best ever cheesecake!!!!! Loved it because it was so cool, smooth and not ‘sweet’!!!!
So, it’s unanimous. Everyone who’s tasted it has loved it.
One secret to this recipe is to be sure and process the cottage cheese until it’s silky smooth.

Hi Vicky, I haven’t tried it but it should work fine. -Martha
Beautiful dessert. I just made this without the crust (so I’m saving points 😉 ) and put it into individual ramekins. Absolutely yummy.
Thanks, Angela! Love the idea of skipping the crust and making them in individual ramekins! Thanks for sharing.
