Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with foil. Coat the inside of the pan lightly with cooking spray.
- Stir together the almonds, finely shredded coconut, toasted shredded coconut, cinnamon, butter and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Using damp hands, press the mixture into an even layer across the bottom of the prepared pan and 1/2 inch up the side. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
- For the cheesecake: Combine the cream cheese, erythritol, sour cream, vanilla seeds, lemon zest and salt in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, pulsing to combine after each. Pour the batter into the crust and bake until the edges set but the center is still slightly wobbly, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove and let cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with foil to prevent leaks. Coat the inside of the pan with cooking spray.
- Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until crumbled. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water and the butter; pulse until moistened. Press the crumbs onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake until browned, about 8 minutes. Let cool, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat both cream cheeses and the sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 5 minutes. Beat in the sour cream on low. Lightly whisk the 3 egg whites in a bowl, then add to the cheese mixture along with the 2 whole eggs, flour, vanilla and lemon zest. Beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Pour over the crust.
- Place the cheesecake in a roasting pan and add enough warm water to come one-quarter of the way up the sides of the springform. Bake until the cake is set but the center still jiggles, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Turn off the oven; keep the cheesecake inside with the door closed for 20 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the water bath and transfer to a rack. Run a knife around the edge, then cool completely. Chill until firm, at least 8 hours. Top as desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (oven rack set to lowest bottom position).
- Grease an 8 x 8-inch square baking dish.
- In the baking dish melt the butter inside the oven.
- Remove from oven; sprinkle the cracker crumbs in the melted butter, stir well; press on the bottom of the baking dish to form a crust.
- Bake the graham crust in a 350 degree oven for 7 minutes; remove and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream and lemon juice.
- Spread evenly over the crumb/crust.
- Spoon the pie filling evenly over the cream layer (don't worry if it sinks a bit, it will all bake together).
- Bake on lowest oven rack for 25-30 minutes, or until set (don't over bake).
- Serve warm or chill overnight (this will firm up and develop in flavor if left in the refrigerator overnight).
- ** This dessert is very good so you might want to consider doubling it -- this can be easily doubled and baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, double the canned pie filling too and bake it for just a couple minutes longer.

Steps:
- Melt butter; mix graham cracker crumbs, butter, and ¼ cup splenda and press into bottom of 8-inch springform pan (spray bottom of pan with Pam first). If desired, reserve 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture to sprinkle on top of cake when baking is completed.
- Beat cream cheese and 28 packets of Equal in a large bowl until fluffy; beat in eggs, egg whites and cornstarch. Mix in sour cream, lime juice and extract until well blended. Spray sides of pan with Pan; pour mixture onto crust in pan.
- Bake in preheated 325 degree F oven 50 minutes or just until set in the center. If desired, sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Turn oven off and leave cake in oven or on counter for 1-2 hours to gradually cool. Remove outer walls of the pan and refrigerate. Chill well (several hours or overnight) before serving.
- OR... Line a 9x13 glass pan with parchment paper and spray the paper and sides of the pan with Pam. Bake 30-35 minutes, cool and slice into bite-sized cheesecake treats! In either case, bake the cheesecake with a water bath in the oven along with it to help keep the cheesecake extra moist. All you have to do is put a separate pan with some water in it in the oven, which will boil on it's own and keep the oven nice and steamy-moist!

Steps:
- 24 hours in advance, you are going to need to make the yogurt into yocheese. Do this by placing a large strainer in a bowl. Line the strainer with a few layers of paper towels, and pour in the yogurt. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator. This will allow the whey to drain from the yogurt, making the consistency much more firm.
- After 24 hours has passed, you can begin by whipping the cream cheese in a large bowl.
- Stir in the sugar substitute.
- Add in the instant pudding, and mix well.
- Stir out the lumps either by hand or place in blender. It is important that all lump are out and batter is smooth.
- Pour in pie crust and refrigerate for an hour or until firm.

ALMOST OUTBACK CHEESECAKE
I found this recipe online several years ago and its the closest I've come to that heavenly Outback cheesecake experience. The cake bakes up very high, so watch carefully. I've added dark chocolate and milk chocolate--both are good but the dark is a good contrast. Top with raspberry or caramel sauce to replicate the Outback experience.

Tips:
- Use low-fat ingredients: To make the cheesecake healthier, use low-fat cream cheese, milk, and yogurt. You can also use a sugar substitute to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
- Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter: Overbeating the batter can cause the cheesecake to be dense and dry. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Chill the cheesecake before serving: The cheesecake needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set and become firm.
Conclusion:
This low-fat cheesecake is a delicious and healthy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is made with low-fat ingredients and does not contain any added sugar. The cheesecake is also easy to make and can be prepared in just a few hours. So, if you are looking for a healthier alternative to traditional cheesecake, this low-fat cheesecake is a great option.
