Can I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta in a cheesecake?

barf - probably not, how about fromage frais

ugh no! can you use philadelphia? i use this to make cheesecake but it's not a baked one...

lol ok - no cottage cheese.....would marscapone work instead???

desperately trying to avoid going out in the car

I would think so although it's not as solid is it? Is it for someone coming round for dinner or just for you - if it's just for you I'd give it a go with mascarpone

well its just for us so will risk it with the marscapone

thanks

I know everyone says no, but my mum always made cheesecake with cottage cheese, just not cooked ones. They never tasted as sweet as normal cheesecake but I thought they were nice especially the peach one.
