Liichou's? Cheese Cake

Processing img 54tge048k7a41...

I took pictures of 134 recipe cards while at my grandmother's house for Christmas. My daughter and I spent hours going through and picking the ones that sounded the best while searching for the two recipes I wanted most. My elementary school teacher's assistant Mrs. Ludy's cheesecake recipe. I thought for sure this one was the one since it had such lovely handwriting, but when I transcribed it, I realized it could not be as it does not contain cream cheese, but instead cottage cheese! If anyone makes this cake, please post a picture and let me know what its like. I'm very curious!

(I couldn't tell what the name was in the title, if you can, please let me know how it's spelled so I can correct it)
