Lime Cheesecake with Ginger Almond Crust
Lime Cheesecake with Ginger Almond Crust
Using Neufchatel cheese in this cheesecake gives a lower calorie count without increasing the carb count, and still gives a superb flavor and texture. 16 ounces (450 grams) Neufchatel or cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Splenda 2 eggs 1/2 cup (120 grams) plain yogurt or sour cream Juice and grated rind of 1 lime 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Ginger Almond Crust (below) Preheat oven to 325 F (170 C). With your electric mixer, beat the Neufchatel or cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the Splenda, eggs and yogurt, in that order, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl often with a rubber scraper. Now, beat in the lime juice, rind and vanilla extract. Pour into prepared crust. Put a flat container of water on the floor of the oven, then put your cheesecake on the oven shelf. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until only the very center of the cake jiggles a little when you shake it. Chill well before serving. 8-10 servings Assuming 8, each will have 11 grams of carbohydrate, with 3 grams of fiber, for a usable carb count of 8 grams; 15 grams protein; 392 calories. Ginger Almond Crust 1-1/2 cups (225 grams) almonds 1/4 cup (30 grams) vanilla whey protein powder 1 teaspoon ground ginger 2 tablespoons Splenda 1/4 cup (60 grams) butter, melted Preheat oven to 325 F (170 C). Put your almonds in your food processor, with the S-blade in place. Run the processor until the almonds are ground medium-fine. Add the protein powder, ginger and Splenda and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse to combine-you may need to run a knife around the bottom of the food processor to make sure everything gets combined. Press firmly into a 10" (25-centimeter) pie plate or springform pan you've sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, building up the sides by about 1" (2.5 centimeter) If you're using a springform, make sure you cover the seam at the bottom. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until it just barely turns golden. 8-10 servings Assuming 8, each will have 5 grams of carbohydrate and 2 grams of fiber, for a usable carb count of 3 grams; 6 grams protein; 168 calories.
