Joanne's Almost Fat-free Lemon Cheesecake courtesy Paula Deen
Crust:
Cooking spray
1 3/4 cups fat-free vanilla wafer cookie crumbs, or any fat-free cookie crumbs
of your choice
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
3 (8-ounce) packages fat-free cream cheese
1 cup fat-free sour cream
2 cups sugar or sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
3 large eggs or 3/4 cup egg substitute
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Lemon Curd:
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
6 tablespoons lemon juice
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup sugar or sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits, or any fat-free butter substitute
Make crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Lightly spray a (9-inch) springform pan with cooking spray. Mix crumbs and
melted butter in a bowl. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and 1 1/2 inches up
side of pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and
crust is set. Cool on rack.
Make filling: In large bowl with electric mixer on medium-high, beat cream
cheese and sour cream for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar
or sugar substitute. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, just until incorporated. Beat
in zest and juice. Pour into crust. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes, or
until center is almost set, but still slightly jiggly. (Do not over bake, as it
will firm as it cools). Let cool completely.
Make lemon curd: In the top of a double boiler, combine lemon zest, lemon
juice, egg, egg yolk, and sugar or sugar substitute over gently simmering
water. Whisk until hot and frothy, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in butter
and continue whisking for 7 minutes or until thickened and coats back of spoon.
Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes.
Run a thin blade around the edge of the springform pan and remove sides.
Transfer to a serving plate. Spread lemon curd over top. Let stand at room
temperature for 30 minutes. Garnish with raspberries and zest, if desired. Cool
cheesecake in refrigerator several hours or overnight before serving
