Servings: persons

2 ounces chopped walnuts
4 ounces graham cracker crumbs
3 1/2 fluid ounces fresh orange juice
14 ounces low fat cottage cheese
7 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
1 1/2 fluid ounces nonfat yogurt, drained (In a cheesecloth-lined sieve in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Allow to come to room temperature.)
8 ounces honey
2 eggs
1 egg white
1 ounce cornstarch
2 large vanilla beans, scraped

1
Put the walnuts in a food processor. Add the graham cracker crumbs, and while the machine is still running, slowly add the orange juice until the mixture begins to adhere.
2
Press the crumb crust evenly over the bottom of a 10-inch spring-form pan. Pre-bake the crust in a 300u00b0F oven until the crust has dried and resembles a cookie, about 15 minutes.
3
Puree the cottage and ricotta cheeses in a food processor until smooth. Add the drained yogurt and remaining ingredients. Continue to puree until smooth.
4
Pour the cheese mixture over the crust and bake in a 300u00b0F oven for 15 minutes. Place a bowl of water in the oven below the cheesecake and lower the oven temperature to 200u00b0F Bake until set, 11/2 hours more. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before slicing.
