Time 1h15m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup sugar
1/4-1/2 cup butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar
1 lb part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup low-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Cream together sugar and butter; stir in egg; combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; add to butter mixture; mix to form a soft dough; reserve a half cup dough to be used later for topping; refrigerate the remaining dough.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whip egg whites until stiff; combine egg yolks, sugar, ricotta cheese, sour cream, flour, salt, orange juice, and vanilla in a large bowl and beat until smooth; gently fold in whipped egg whites.
  • Press chilled dough evenly into a 10" springform pan that has been lightly sprayed with no-stick cooking spray; pour filling over crust; combine reserved dough with oatmeal and cinnamon; crumble this topping evenly over filling.
  • Bake at 350° for 45-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near center of cheesecake comes out clean.
  • Cool cheesecake on rack; cover and refrigerate to chill thoroughly; just before serving remove sides of springform pan and transfer cheesecake to serving platter.

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. It was too tangy and the crust was too crumbly.

I thought this cheesecake was just okay. I found it to be a bit too dense and heavy.

This cheesecake was really good! The only thing I would change is to use a graham cracker crust instead of a cookie crust.

This cheesecake was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a little less lemon juice.
