Light Raspberry Cheesecake
This is a diet cheesecake but tastes like a rich and creamy one, with raspberries throughout. It looks beautiful.
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup fructose* or 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup low-fat yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Puree cheese until smooth and thick add sugar, eggs, yogurt, vanilla extract and lemon peel. Beat into it the flour and cornstarch. Put in a bowl.
- Fold carefully the raspberries to above or save for decoration on top after cake has baked. Pour into pan and bake for approximately 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in middle comes out clean. Chill until cold and serve plain or with pureed raspberry sauce.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 inch springform pan with nonstick vegetable spray.
- Raspberry Sauce: Puree 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen) and strain through a sieve to remove seeds. Add 1/2 ripe banana mashed and add fructose or sugar to taste.
Notes
* Fructose is a natural sweetener. It is derived from the natural sugars in fruit, honey, and invert sugar and tends to be about one and a half times sweeter than sugar. It is more expensive than sugar, but price equals out because less is used. It can be found in supermarkets or health food shops.
