Low-Fat Cheesecake

Yesterday I made a recipe for "Low-Fat Cheesecake" from Food Network Magazine. It was very good with a subtle lemon flavor. It came out really well and was fairly easy. The only thing I messed up was that you are supposed to wrap the springform pan in foil so that when you bake the cheesecake in the water bath, no water leaks into the pan. Well I did wrap it in foil, but I should have doubled it up, because the foil had a small hole and so the pan ended up sitting in water anyway. It seemed to be fine and that the water did not seep into the pan, but if/when I make this again I would double the foil just to be sure water wouldn't leak.

Now here is my gripe with this recipe. The recipe printed in the magazine included nutritional info but for some reason on the website it does not. It claims to be 229 calories per serving which is fantastic for cheesecake. Only thing is, it claims to have 14 servings total. Everyone who came over last night agreed that was unrealistic. I think it has more like 10 servings total which would make it 321 calories per slice. Still pretty good as far as cheesecake goes, but I think it's a bit sneaky the way they want you to think this is so low in calories but really that's only if you eat a tiny, tiny piece!

I will probably make this again as it is lower in calories & fat than a lot of cheesecake recipes, and the flavor is great. I think you can leave out the lemon if you desire.
