Thanks to light cream cheese (Neufchatel) and fat free sour cream, everyone can enjoy this classic, rich-tasting dessert. 1/16 of the cake is 3 POINTS. From the Weight Watchers cookbook. Ingredients:
12 graham crackers, made into crumbs (2 1/2 inch squares) |
2 cups light cream cheese |
1 cup fat free sour cream |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 large eggs |
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest |
Directions:
1. Prheat the over to 325 degrees; wrap the outside of a 10-inch springform pan with heavy duty foil; then spray the inside entirely with nonstick spray. Press the graham cracker crumbs over the bottom and partially up the sides of the pan.
2. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
3. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low speed until blended; stir in the lemon zest.
4. Pour the batter into the springform pan and set into a large roasting pan.
5. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
6. Bake until almost completely set, 30-32 minutes.
7. Turn off the oven and prop open the door with a wooden spoon; leave the cake in the oven for 30 minutes.
8. Transfer to a rack and run a knife around the edge of the pan to release the cake.
9. Cool completely, then refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
