Low Carb Cheesecake Bites

Earlier this year I introduced one of my favorite low carb recipes, Shara's Cheesy Crustless Quiche.  Here is my new fav, an adaptation of Shara's recipe with a sweet twist. 

1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick).  
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 large eggs
1/2 cup cream             
3 oz cream cheese (softened)  
1 cups 2% cottage cheese
2 cups jack cheese,shredded        
1/2 tsp salt 
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup Splenda
1/2 tsp baking powder

Melt butter in saucepan, add corn starch and cook until smooth.  Set aside.  Beat eggs, add cream, jack, cottage and cream cheeses, baking powder, salt, Splenda and sugar. Add butter/cornstarch to egg mixture. Stir until blended.*
Pour into a 8 x 8 nonstick baking pan.  Bake at 350 uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until top begins to turn golden. Cool and cut into 1"x1" squares. Chill in frig at least a half hour before serving. Yum!
Makes 64, bite sized servings.
