Cream Cheesecake au Zonée
- The Zone Diet Recipes
Ingredients
16 oz lowfat ricotta (preferred) [4P, 11F]
8 oz lowfat cream cheese [3P, 13F]
1C egg beaters equivalent to 4 eggs [4P]
scant 1/4 cup sugar (fructose) [9 C]
1/4 cup oat bran flour (available in health food stores)
[2C]
plus another ? cup for the pan
1 tablespoon vanilla extract [Free]
juice and rind of 1 lemon [Free]
6 oz. Evaporated skim milk [2P, 2C]
2 oz. Lowfat milk [Free]
cooking spray [Free]
8 or 9 inch springform pan, well seasoned.
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 f.
2. In food processor or powerful mixer, cream the ricotta
until smooth and liquid, then cut in the cream cheese. Add
all other ingredients and whip until smooth and airy
3. Prepare pan by spritzing with cooking spray and lightly
coating inside with oat bran flour.
4. Pour batter into pan and bake for 1 hour. Turn off oven
and leave cake inside for at least one more hour, then
remove to a cooling rack until completely cool.
Each slice (? of cake) equals approximately 2 blocks of
protein, 2 blocks carbohydrate, 1 block fat.
To balance the fat (if other menu items haven't done that)
choose one of the following:
Pulverize 24 cashews, pecans, walnuts or almondsor 8
macadamia nuts--and line the bottom of the pan to make a nut
crust.
Place the same amount of nuts in an attractive, even pattern
on top before baking.
Add eight blocks of fat to the batter (inexpensive,
low-flavor refined olive oil preferred).
Add high-flavor natural nut oil (might give a slight almond
or peanut flavor).
If you prefer fruit with your cheesecake, reduce fructose to
¼ cup, which reduces carbohydrate to 1 block, and top with
one block of your favorite berries or what-have-you.
