LOW FAT SUGAR FREE NEW YORK STYLE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Melt butter; mix graham cracker crumbs, butter, and ¼ cup splenda and press into bottom of 8-inch springform pan (spray bottom of pan with Pam first). If desired, reserve 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture to sprinkle on top of cake when baking is completed.
• Beat cream cheese and 28 packets of Equal in a large bowl until fluffy; beat in eggs, egg whites and cornstarch. Mix in sour cream, lime juice and extract until well blended. Spray sides of pan with Pan; pour mixture onto crust in pan.
• Bake in preheated 325 degree F oven 50 minutes or just until set in the center. If desired, sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Turn oven off and leave cake in oven or on counter for 1-2 hours to gradually cool. Remove outer walls of the pan and refrigerate. Chill well (several hours or overnight) before serving.
• OR... Line a 9x13 glass pan with parchment paper and spray the paper and sides of the pan with Pam. Bake 30-35 minutes, cool and slice into bite-sized cheesecake treats! In either case, bake the cheesecake with a water bath in the oven along with it to help keep the cheesecake extra moist. All you have to do is put a separate pan with some water in it in the oven, which will boil on it's own and keep the oven nice and steamy-moist!

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.

LOW-FAT CHEESECAKE

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.

JUNIOR'S SUGAR-FREE NEW YORK CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan (preferably nonstick). Wrap the outside with aluminum foil, covering the bottom and extending all the way up the side, so water will not leak into the cake as it bakes.
• Place both flours, the xylitol and salt in a food processor and process for 15 seconds. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture pulls together, about 30 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon of the cream and the egg yolk. Pulse until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If it is still stiff, add another tablespoon of cream. Flour your fingers and gently press the dough into the bottom of the prepared springform pan until it is covered. Bake the crust just until it no longer looks moist on the top and feels set when you touch it (do not overbake), 7 to 8 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
• For the filling: Beat together 1/2 cup of the Xylitol, the arrowroot and one package of the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer (using the paddle attachment if you have it) on low about 3 minutes to make a stable starter batter. Blend in the remaining cream cheese, one package at a time, scraping down the bowl after adding each one, about another 3 minutes.
• Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat in the remaining 1/2 cup xylitol. Add the eggs, beating well. The batter will look light, creamy, airy, and almost like billowy clouds. Be careful not to over mix!
• Spoon the batter over the baked shortbread crust. Place the springform pan in the center of a large shallow pan and add hot water to the larger pan so that it comes about 1 inch up the side of the springform. Bake until the edge is light golden brown and the cake is light yellow beige, about 1 hour. If the center is still very jiggly, let the cake bake for 5 to 10 minutes more.
• Gently remove the cake from the water bath, transfer it to a wire rack, remove the foil, and leave it on the rack for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours. The less you move it, the less likely it is the cake will crack. Once it has cooled, leave the cake in the pan, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight until it is completely cold.
• To serve, remove the springform ring from the cake and serve from the bottom of the pan (do not try to transfer it to a serving platter). Cover any leftover cake and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Do not freeze this cake.
