Almost Cheesecake Low Fatsugar Recipes

JOANNE'S ALMOST FAT-FREE LEMON CHEESECAKE (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°.
• Lightly spray a 9" springform pan with cooking spray.
• Mix crumbs and melted butter in a bowl.
• Press crumb mixture onto bottom and 1 1/2 inches up side of pan.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and crust is set.
• Cool on rack.
• Make filling: In large bowl with electric mixer on medium-high, beat cream cheese and sour cream for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy.
• Gradually beat in Splenda.
• Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, just until incorporated.
• Beat in zest and juice.
• Pour into crust.
• Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes, or until center is almost set, but still slightly jiggly. (Do not overbake, as it will firm as it cools).
• Let cool completely.
• Make lemon curd: In the top of a double boiler, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, egg yolk, and Splenda over gently simmering water.
• Whisk until hot and frothy, about 5 minutes.
• Gradually whisk in butter and continue whisking for 7 minutes or until thickened and coats back of spoon.
• Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes.
• Run a thin blade around the edge of the springform pan and remove sides.
• Transfer to a serving plate.
• Spread lemon curd over top.
• Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Garnish with raspberries, if desired.
• Cool cheesecake in refrigerator several hours or overnight before serving.
• Note: When I put just Splenda in the ingredients, it would not take it. I would not recommend using anything but sugar or Splenda in this - no other substitutes.

NO-SUGAR CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Generously butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Combine the almond flour, pecans, sweetener and melted butter in a food processor and pulse until finely ground and combined. Turn the mixture out into the prepared springform pan and press it firmly on the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then cool completely on the rack.
• For the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Combine the cream cheese, sweetener, lemon juice and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until lightened and smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition.
• Scrape the mixture into the cooled crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Bake until the edges of the cake are set but the center is still jiggly, 45 to 50 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edges of the cake to separate it from the pan, then let the cake cool for 1 hour.
• Loosely cover the cheesecake and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours, before serving.

LOW-SUGAR CHEESECAKE

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.
