Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fat-free cream cheese
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 tablespoons granular sugar substitute (e.g., Splenda)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free cream cheese and eggs. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the granular sugar substitute, pure vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice to the bowl. Beat again until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Lightly spray a small baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) or 4 individual ramekins with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish or divide among the ramekins.
Place the baking dish or ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature. For best results, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or sugar-free whipped cream before serving.
