Classic Creamy Cheesecake
Everyone will enjoy this smooth cheesecake baked in a graham cracker crust.
Recipe Ingredients:
Crust:
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup Splenda® Granulated No Calorie Sweetener
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
2 (8 ounce) packages regular cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) package fat-free cream cheese
1 1/4 cups Splenda® Granulated No Calorie Sweetener
4 large eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1 pinch salt
Cooking Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, Splenda® Granulated Sweetener and melted butter in a small bowl. Press on bottom and up sides of prepared pan.
- Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
- Beat regular and fat free cream cheese together at high speed with a mixer until creamy; gradually add Splenda® Granulated Sweetener, mixing well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until each one is incorporated. Add lime juice and a pinch of salt, beat until smooth. Pour into prepared crust.
- Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until mixture is almost set, and slightly firm to the touch. Run a knife around edge of pan to release sides, and help prevent cracking. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack; cover and chill at least 8 hours.
