In a food processor or blender, process cottage cheese and tofu until smooth. Add all other ingredients except the strawberries. Process for 3 minutes until very smooth and light. Pour into prepared springform pan. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the middle rack of the oven under the springform to protect the oven.

Spoon puree over each serving and garnish with one perfect strawberry, sliced to the stem and fanned out.
