Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 10 squares)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp reduced-fat margarine, melted
filling:
2 packages (8 oz each) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup (8 oz) fat-free vanilla yogurt
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup egg substitute
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1/4 cup lemon juice
topping:
3 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp plus 1/2 cup cold water, divided
1 tbsp cornstarch
red food coloring, optional

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and cinnamon; stir in margarine. Press onto the bottom of a 9-in. springform pan; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, yogurt and sugar, until smooth. Gradually add egg substitute; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in lemon peel and juice. Pour filling over crust.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In a large saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until rhubarb is tender, about 10 minutes. Combine cornstarch and remaining water until smooth; gradually stir into rhubarb mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add food coloring if desired. Cover and refrigerate until cool. Spoon over slices of cheesecake. Yield: 12 servings.
