Lemon Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce (145), 223


This is a fairly delectable cheesecake, even though it is made with low-fat ingredients. Make certain that all the ingredients are at room temperature so that the cream cheese will beat smoothly. If it is cold, it will form small lumps.

1/4 cup vanilla wafer crumbs

1 pound low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups low-fat sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 egg whites
4 tablespoons grated lemon (use fruit, juice and peel)
2 teaspoons vanilla

In a 10-inch springform pan, sprinkle crumbs evenly. Beat together the remaining ingredients until nicely blended. Do not overbeat. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake at 350-degrees for 45 minutes. (Center will be soft.) Allow to come to room temperature and then refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Cut into wedges to serve and serve with 1 tablespoon of Strawberry Sauce on top. Serves 16.
(About 145 calories per serving including sauce)

Strawberry Sauce:
Stir together 1 cup mashed strawberries and 3 tablespoons undiluted frozen orange juice concentrate. Yields 1 1/4 cups sauce.

Note: -To facilitate removing cheesecake from the pan, line the springform pan with parchment paper.
