Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (6 ounce) package zwieback toast, crushed into crumbs
½ cup finely chopped almonds
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup olive oil
1 ½ pounds creamed cottage cheese
¼ cup sifted all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon salt
6 eggs, separated
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
¼ cup fresh lemon juice

This cheesecake was a disappointment. It was too dry and the flavor was bland.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cheesecake.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake to set properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
