Raspberry and Lemon Cheesecake  

The zippy addition of fresh lemon peel to the yogurt never once makes your jaw twinge for there is also plenty of sweetness from the rich topping made of delicious lemon curd and sweet fresh raspberries.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

Crust:
1/4 cup crushed vanilla wafer cookie crumbs (7 to 8 cookies)
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
   
Filling:
3 (8-ounce) packages low-fat cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 cup refrigerated egg substitute
1 (8-ounce) container lowfat lemon yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
   
Topping:
1 (10 to 11-ounce) jar lemon curd
1 1/2-2 cups whole raspberries
 



METHOD

Preheat the oven to 350°. Use a 9-inch springform pan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick (sprayed with a non-stick oil, if desired).

In a small bowl, combine the crust ingredients, mixing well. Sprinkle the crust onto the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating until smooth. Add the remaining filling ingredients. Beat until smooth and pour into the crusted pan.

Bake the cheesecake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the center is almost set. Cool in pan on wire rack for about 1 1/2 hours or until completely cooled.

Transfer the lemon curd to a small bowl and stir it with a spoon to soften. Spread the jam over the top of the cake. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Just before serving, carefully remove the sides of the pan. Top the cake with the raspberries and serve.
