    French Cheesecakes
    (Gateux au Fromage Blanc)

    1 Large egg
    1 Large egg white
    1/2 cup sugar (substitute 1/4 cup Splenda or Stevia)
    1 cup fromage blanc
    4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature (I use regular cream cheese)
    zest 1 lemon
    zest of 1 orange
    3 Tbls. strawberry jam
    1 cup sliced hulled fresh strawberries
    2 Tbls. water (optional)

    Preheat the oven to 300 Degs F. Bring 6 cups water to a boil.

    In a small bowl, combine the egg, egg white, sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an
    electric mixer until pale yellow.

    Coat four (4 ounce) ramekins with nonstick spray. Place an equal portion of the cheese batter in each ramekin. Place the ramekins in a small baking dish. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is set.

    Remove the ramekins from the oven and baking dish. Place on a wire rack to cool. Refrigerate for 3 hours.

    Place the jam, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of the strawberries in a blender or a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, thin with the water. Transfer to a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Dip the bottom of the ramekins into very hot water for no more than 10 seconds. Wipe dry and invert each ramekin into a chilled dessert bowl. Drizzle an equal portion of sauce over each plate and top with the remaining strawberries.

    I don't do the sauce. I just make the cheese cake and put my sugar free preserves over it.

    Also, you can get the Fromage Blanc at Whole Foods.
