Sour Cream Cheesecake
Low Fat Recipe

Crust:
1 cup reduced-fat graham cracker crumbs (about 10 cookie sheets)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, melted
Cooking spray

Filling:
1 cup 2-percent low-fat cottage cheese
1-1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8-ounce) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
1 (8-ounce) block fat-free cream cheese
3 large eggs
1 large egg white
1 cup sugar

Topping:
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8-ounce) carton low-fat sour cream
1 (8-ounce) carton fat-free sour cream

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350-degrees.

To prepare the crust, combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350-degrees for 10 minutes, and cool the crust on a wire rack.

To prepare filling, combine cottage cheese, 1-1/2 tablespoons vanilla, salt, and cream cheeses in a food processor; process 1 minute or until smooth. Add eggs and egg white, 1 at a time, pulsing after each addition. Add 1 cup sugar; process just until blended.

Pour the cheese mixture into the prepared crust, and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until the cheesecake is almost set. Remove the cheesecake from oven, and let stand 10 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees.

To prepare topping, combine 3 tablespoons sugar and the remaining ingredients. Spread evenly over cheesecake. Bake cheesecake at 450 degrees for 5 minutes or until set. Cool completely on wire rack. Cover and chill 8 hours.

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: 1 slice).
