They’re made with cottage cheese and have lemon zest in every bite.
It was a plain,cream cheese-based classic versionwith a graham cracker crust, and it was spectacular.
It was perfect and delicious every time.

How could you make a cheesecake without cream cheese?
I needed to see if the hype was real, so off I went to make Altons recipe.
Next, you add lemon zest, lemon juice, and sour cream and beat until combined.

Would it be as delicious as my dads?
I grabbed my spoon and admired the little flecks of lemon zest before popping the spoonful in my mouth.
I could feel the particles, albeit small, of cottage cheese, which made the cheesecake feel curdled.
Although I didnt care for the texture, the flavor was delicious.
It was tangy, and I loved the little bit of lemon I tasted in every bite.
Altons version is also less labor-intensive than making a classic cheesecake, so I do applaud that.
Ultimately, though, my dads cheesecake still reigns supreme.
