Easy Peasy Cheesecake!

Sunday, September 11, 2011
I guess I'm in the baking mood =)

Ingredients:
1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust (6oz)
1 16oz Low-Fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese Container, softened
1/2 c. White Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp lemon zest
3 eggs--see note below


1. Pre-heat oven at 325 degrees F. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla. Add the egg substitute and mix just until blended.

2. Pour into crust. Bake 40 minutes (until center is almost set). Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours.

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Some notes:
1. To soften the cream cheese, place the container in the microwave on High for 45 seconds. (this is much easier at the same cost of buying the 8 oz packages)
2. Use Splenda if you want to make this treat even healthier.--I'm just not a fan of the Splenda taste.
3. For clean edges on the cheesecake slices, use a sharp knife to cut the chilled cheesecake, wiping the knife blade with a damp cloth between each cut.
4. EGGS-so I obviously used egg replacer--EnerG egg replacer which is 1.5 tsp powder + 2 tbls warm water mixed prior to adding to the recipe.
