Kraft Kitchens Tips

Sweets can add enjoyment to a balanced diet, but remember to keep an eye on portions.

New York Lemon Cheesecake

Prepare as directed, omitting cherry pie filling and adding 2 Tbsp. lemon juice and 1-1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel to the cream cheese batter before pouring over crust.

How to Bake in Springform Pan

Preheat oven to 325ºF if using 9-inch springform pan (or 300ºF if using a dark
nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Prepare as directed. Bake 1 hour 10 min. or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan.

Made this on 10-29-08. Used four cream cheeses, four eggs, 2/3 cup sour cream, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 tbsp. flour. Used two real eggs and 1/2 cup egg substitute. The
cream cheese was non-fat.

Also used vanilla and almond flavoring. Baked at 300 degrees in a 9" X 13" pan for about 45 minutes. It did crack a little, so I might do it for less time next time. Maybe 40 minutes, and then leave it in the oven for about 30 minutes to settle, hopefully without cracking.
