Time 6h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup finely ground almonds or almond flour
1/2 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut or coconut flour
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, toasted
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Pinch of kosher salt
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups erythritol sweetener
3/4 cup sour cream
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
Zest from half a lemon
Pinch of kosher salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature

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.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 6h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for the pan
1 1/4 cups almond flour
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 cup confectioners' erythritol sweetener, such as Swerve
Five 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups confectioners' erythritol sweetener, such as Swerve
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs

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-FAT CHEESECAKE



Low-Fat Cheesecake image

This cheesecake takes advantage of lower-fat ingredients but still hits all the rich, creamy notes of a traditional version.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 10h

Yield 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
9 whole low-fat cinnamon graham crackers, broken in half
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 8-ounce packages Neufchatel cream cheese, softened
2 8-ounce packages fat-free cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 large eggs plus 3 egg whites
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Assorted toppings

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.

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 cheesecake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups plain fat-free yogurt
8 ounces fat free cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar substitute (I use Splenda)
1 (1 ounce) package sugar free fat free instant pudding mix (cheesecake flavor)

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.

Tips:

  • For a smoother cheesecake, make sure to use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the excess pastry around the edges.
  • To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while it's baking. This will help to create a moist environment that will prevent the cheesecake from drying out.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

This almost-cheesecake recipe is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional cheesecake. It's made with low-fat ingredients, so it's a great option for people who are watching their weight or have dietary restrictions. The cheesecake is also very easy to make, so it's a great recipe for beginners. With its creamy texture and delicious flavor, this almost-cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
