Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 8 ounces fat-free cream cheese
- 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon orange extract
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and applesauce. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fat-free cream cheese, cottage cheese, sugar substitute, cornstarch, vanilla extract, orange extract, and orange zest. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cheese mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the egg whites and Greek yogurt. Gently fold the ingredients together until fully incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when shaken.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to fully set.
Before serving, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice into 8 equal servings and enjoy your Low Fat Orange Dream Cheesecake!
