  • ”¢ 2 tablespoons of meted unsalted butter
  • ”¢ 9 cinnamon graham crackers that are broken in half (the low fat content variety)
  • ”¢ 28 ounce packages softened fat free cream cheese
  • ”¢ 28 ounce packages of softened Neufchatel cream cheese

 Directions

You have to preheat the oven to a temperature of 350 degrees F. Use a food processor to crumble the graham crackers. Add butter and 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Mix them until are moistened. Use the cooking spray to coat the inside of a spring form pan, then add the crumbs of graham crackers onto the bottom and bake for about 8 minutes and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
Beat the sugar and both cream cheeses with a mixer until they are smooth, then add the sour cream and beat it on slow speed. Wisk the 3 egg whites in a bowl and add them to the cheese mixture along with vanilla, lemon zest, flour, and the 2 whole eggs. Mix on medium speed for about 3 minutes and then pour the mixture over the crust.
Add warm water and bake the cheesecake in a roasting pan, about one hour and ten minutes. Turn off the oven but keep the cheesecake inside for another 20 minutes.
Transfer the cheesecake to a rack and run a knife around the edge. Chill it for at least 8 hours.
