          Light Raspberry Cheesecake

          Posted by Olga at recipegoldmine.com 5/17/02 6:33:24 am

          This is a diet cheesecake but tastes like a rich and creamy one, with raspberries throughout. It looks beautiful.

          1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
          1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
          1/4 cup fructose or 1/3 cup granulated sugar
          2 eggs
          1/3 cup low-fat yogurt
          1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
          1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
          1 tablespoon flour
          1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
          1 cup fresh raspberries

          Puree cheese until smooth and thick add sugar, eggs, yogurt, vanilla extract and lemon peel. Beat into it the flour and cornstarch. Put in a bowl.

          Fold carefully the raspberries to above or save for decoration on top after cake has baked. Pour into pan and bake for approximately 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in middle comes out clean. Chill until cold and serve plain or with pureed raspberry sauce.

          Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch springform pan with nonstick vegetable spray.

          Serves 12.

          Raspberry Sauce: Puree, 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen) and strain through a sieve to remove seeds. Add 1/2 ripe banana mashed and add fructose or sugar to taste.

          Fructose is a natural sweetener. It is derived from the natural sugars in fruit, honey, and invert sugar and tends to be about one and a half times sweeter than sugar. It is more expensive than sugar, but price equals out because less is used. It can be found in supermarkets or health food shops.
