A yummy, rich, refreshing dessert on a hot summer evening, or any time. This is an old ice cream recipe which was developed before there was "fat free" Half & Half. The fat free Half & Half may be substituted in either version according to your preference. Note: This recipe contains uncooked eggs, you may use pasteurized eggs or substitute Egg Beaters or egg substitute for the raw egg yolks. You may use pasteurized egg whites, powdered egg whites, or egg white substitute for the raw egg whites. Cook time = the freezing time for my (brand) ice cream machine. There is a 1-2 hour chill time for the mixture prior to freezing.

DIET CHEESECAKE

Any time I try a regular low fat cheesecake, it tastes really fake to me. These ingredients are totally different than a regular cheesecake so while it isnt exactly the same, it does act as a fairly good substitute.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

12 graham cracker squares
1 lb fat-free cottage cheese
1/2 cup skim milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons flour

Steps:

Crush graham crackers well and press them into the bottom of a round pan.
Blend the rest of the ingredients in a blender and pour over crust.
Bake at 350 for one hour.

Tips:

Utilize a springform pan for baking to ensure easy removal of the cheesecake.
In the absence of sour cream, a mixture of yogurt and lemon juice can be used.
Chill the cheesecake for at least four hours, ideally overnight, to ensure it sets properly.
For a smoother cheesecake, use a food processor to blend the cream cheese mixture until completely smooth.
To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking.
Use a water bath to ensure even cooking and prevent the cheesecake from overcooking.
For a more intense vanilla flavor, use vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract.
If you prefer a graham cracker crust, crush graham crackers and mix them with melted butter before pressing into the bottom of the springform pan.
Garnish the cheesecake with fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings before serving.
