Having had family members who are diabetic I have had to
change my cooking styles and thinking to accommodate them. This is
a recipe for a low calorie diabetic friendly Cheese cake that
tastes like a full sugar unfriendly cheese cake.
Ingredients
12 oz. low fat Ricotta cheese
4 eggs, separated
3/4 c. Fruit Sweet
Grated peel of 1 lemon
3 graham crackers/biscuit, finely crushed
12 oz. low fat cottage cheese
2/3 c. non-instant milk powder
5 tbsp. lemon juice or to taste
2 tsp. pure vanilla
Butter or oleo for pan
Put cheese into a processor with egg yolks and Fruit Sweet and
blend together. Then add
milk, powder and process until smooth. Then add vanilla, lemon
juice and
peel to the cheese mixture and Blend until smooth. Beat the egg
whites until
frothy and then add to the processor and blend for about 2 seconds,
until fully
mixed. Butter the bottom and 1half way up the sides of a 9"
Springform
pan.
Then pour the graham cracker/biscuit crumbs into the pan and
shake until the buttered
area is fully coated. Leave any extra on the bottom. Pour the
cheesecake
mixture into the pan and bake at 350 degrees with a pan of water in
the
oven to prevent drying. you then Bake for 45 minutes or until an
inserted knife
emerges clean. Cool. May serve with an All-Fruit preserve of your
choice.
Variations: All cottage or all ricotta cheese may be used.
For standard cream cheese cake, substitute 24 ounces
cream cheese, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup powdered milk and 2/3 cup Fruit
Sweet. Adjust lemon.
