VANILLA RICOTTA "CHEESECAKE" (SOUTH BEACH DIET)



Vanilla Ricotta

Healthy version of cheesecake...south beach diet friendly. I make this about once a week and never get tired of it! It is my diet indulgence! Updated March 29, 2010; in response to criticism: use care...you must blend completely or it will not cook to a proper texture! I personally like the soft, delicate flavor the recipe produces as is.... If you prefer a more complex variation: Increase vanilla bean and/or extract OR add additional flavors if desired by adding to recipe as is if you prefer stronger flavor. To maintain a delicate, gourmet flavor, try substituting another extract or liquid flavoring for the vanilla extract and/or adding a dash of spices. Some ideas: Orange extract + Cloves; Rum Extract + Cinnamon; Vanilla Extract + Chocolate Chips; Peppermint Extract + Chocolate Syrup/Shavings/Chips; Orange Extract + Chocolate Syrup/Shavings/Chips; Rum Extract + Cinnamon, Cloves, and/or Ginger; Peanut Butter + Chocolate Chips

Cheesecake was one of man's earliest produced treats, and may the tradition continue. This is for phase 3. This came from South Beach Diet Cookbook. I haven't tried this recipe.

I adapted this from an old recipe for a lowfat cheesecake using sugar. Prep time does not include chilling time. When you get tired of eating eggs on the SB Diet, this will feel like a treat.
