    Alton Brown just did a video on cottage cheese where he talked about how it used to be used for the things we use cream cheese for now (cream cheese is actually a relatively modern invention), including cheesecake.

      Yeah! I caught that episode, but didn’t connect it until you brought it up. Dang, that makes me more confident this concoction would be really good

        It’s easy to miss, but the recipe also calls for both sieving and beating the cottage cheese which would result in a much smoother texture.
