Because I am watching carbs, I make these crustless, but they are also good with a graham cracker crust.

2 8oz packages cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp egg white

Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth. Divide evenly into 12 baking cups and bake at 325F for 25 minutes. Cool, remove from pan, and chill for an hour. If desired top with low-sugar preserves just before serving. Yum!

    Well, I entered the recipe in MFP, and it's about 42 calories per cheesecake, 6 g carbs (3 from the lactose in the cream cheese), 6 g protein. No fiber and no fat. :)

    That's assuming, of course, that you don't put a crust or preserves on it. You'd have to look up the info for those separately.

    isn't the sodium really high? When I use cream cheese, it is for me...

    Sorry. I forgot to specify the non-fat variety. It is available in most American supermarkets.

    I'm afraid I can't answer that question. I don't really monitor my sodium intake, and it didn't list it when I input the recipe on here (probably because I DON'T monitor it). Sorry. I guess you'd just have to look at the sodium in each of the ingredients.

    Wow ... this recipe sounds incredibly good! I can't wait to get the ingredients to try it out. One question ... anyone tried freezing them? ... Or if that's not a good idea, probably will halve the recipe. 12 yummy cheese cakes sounds too good to have in the fridge!

    being a chef, you can freeze cheesecakes for up to 6 months...thaw in fridge for 2 hrs or overnight.
