Cheesecake Cups

1 tsp unflavored gelatin (such as Knox)

1/2 cup boiling water

1 tsp clear vanilla extract

16 ounces 1% cottage cheese (Friendship Whipped, if possible)*

1/4 cup fat free cream cheese (Philadelphia if possible)

1/2 cup Splenda granulated or Stevia blend

*If you cannot find Friendship brand cottage cheese, drain the brand you get with a sieve lined with paper towel or cheesecloth for an hour to remove a lot of the liquids. 1% makes a big difference in taste here too vs fat free :)

Stir together gelatin, Splenda and vanilla with boiling water in a small bowl. Place cottage cheese and cream cheese in a blender and pour gelatin mixture over. Cover. Process until smooth.

Pour cheesecake mixture into 12 foil cupcake liners and refrigerate 90 min -2 hrs (until firm to the touch). Peel away foil and enjoy.

*Jazz these up with pretty cupcake papers and take to a girls party- showers, bachelorette, etc
