As is this recipe falls flat but I always use the recipes as a guide adn adjust them to suit my own preferences and use of ricotta cheese or full fat cottage cheese and cream cheese do give fluffy and tasty results everyone missed. You can skimp on the serving size but studies have shown consumption of fat in the dairy products is better for you. I skip the corn startch in making all curds and never have found it necessary to have thick rich fruit curds. Cut those startch calories and use the approach to tailor any recipe to what you and your family like.
