Categories     Cheesecake

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine, melted
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces neufchatel cheese (LIGHT CREAM CHEESE)
8 ounces fat free cream cheese (spreadable cheese in the containers)
2 eggs
1/2 cup nonfat milk
1/3 cup nonfat sour cream
3 egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray (coat well!).
  • Combine crumbs, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and melted margarine, then firmly press crumb mixture into bottom of pan.
  • Combine 2/3 cup sugar, flour, cornstarch, vanilla, light cream cheese, and fat free cream cheese in a large bowl and beat at high speed of a mixer until smooth.
  • Add milk and sour cream to cheese mixture, then beat until smooth.
  • Beat egg whites at high speed of a mixer until soft peaks form.
  • Clean and dry beaters, then add sugar to egg whites, a tablespoon at a time, until all sugar is incorperated and peaks form again.
  • Gently fold egg white mixture into cheese mixture.
  • Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until almost set (a few inches in the middle will still jiggle lightly, and the edges will have started to pull away from the sides of the pan).
  • Remove from oven, and run a dull knife around the edge of the cheesecake to seperate it from the side of the pan (helps prevent cracking).
  • Cool completely on a wire rack, then cover and chill overnight. Enjoy the NEXT DAY!
