An occasional dessert can be part of a balanced diet, but remember to keep tabs on portions.

My husband nor I liked this cheesecake. We both thought it was dry and the crust, although simple, did nothing for the cake. It was easy to make, but not one we will try again. Yuck.

I am always looking for lower fat cheesecake recipes. This is one of the best I have found. No strange texture, no after taste like some of the low fat recipes I have tried. I would even make this for a party it tastes that good. For a little extra flavor, I added 1 teaspoon of lemon rind to the crust, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the batter.
