Cooking Light Cheesecake image

Cooking Light, April 2006. If you make this cake in a 9-inch Springform pan, cut the baking time by about 15 minutes. The center of the cake may appear looser than expected, but it will become firmer as it chills overnight.

Time 1h50m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup sugar
20 reduced-fat vanilla wafers
1/8 teaspoon salt, divided
3 large egg whites, divided
cooking spray
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
16 ounces block-style light cream cheese, softened
4 ounces block-style fat free cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • To prepare cheesecake, place ½ cup sugar, wafers, and a dash of salt in food processor and process until the mixture resembles sand.
  • Place one egg white in a small bowl and stir with a whisk until frothy. With the processor on, add 2 tbsp egg white through the chute, processing until blended. (Discard remaining egg white.).
  • Spray 8 inch springform pan with cooking spray, and then firmly press mixture into the bottom of the pan and slightly up the sides.
  • Bake at 350 for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Reduce oven to 300 degrees.
  • Combine 1 ½ cups sugar, 3 tbsp cornstarch, and remaining dash salt in a large bowl. Add cheese and beat with a mixer on medium high speed until smooth.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low and add vanilla and 1 tsp lemon juice and beat until just combined. Add eggs one at a time, and beat after each addition until just combined.
  • Pour cheese mixture into prepared springform pan. Bake at 300 degrees for an hour and 15 minutes or until a 3 inch circle in the center of the cheesecake barely jiggles when the side of the pan is tapped.
  • Turn oven off and leave cheesecake in the oven for 30 minutes with the door open.
  • Remove cheesecake from oven, run a knife around the outside edge. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was dry and the filling was too dense. I won't be making this recipe again.

This cheesecake is so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love that it's not too heavy, so I can enjoy a slice without feeling guilty.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I also found the crust to be a bit dry. I won't be making this recipe again.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but I decided to try this recipe because it sounded so good. I'm so glad I did! The cheesecake was amazing! It was light and fluffy, and the crust was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is really great for anyone who loves cheesecake but is trying to watch their weight. I made it for my family and they couldn't believe how delicious it was, even though it was so much lighter than traditional cheesecake.
