2. Place half of cottage cheese in container of an electric blender; blend until smooth, turning blender off every 15 seconds to scrape sides with a rubber spatula. Repeat procedure with remaining cottage cheese.
3. Combine cottage cheese and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed of electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients, beating until fluffy.
4. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Bake at 325u0b0 for 1 hour. Turn oven off. Leaving oven door closed, allow cheesecake to remain in oven 1 hour. Remove from oven, and let cool to room temperature. Loosely cover, and refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of Springform pan before serving.
