Ingredients

  • 32 ounces neufchatel cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup Splenda granular or 1 cup other sugar substitute
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla, abstract
  • 1 -2 teaspoon lemon juice (add more for a more lemon taste)
  • 4 large eggs, plus
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream

Method

  • Combine Neufchatel Cheese and Splenda and blend slow to medium speed, scraping sides of bowl, with an electric mixer.
  • Add all remaining ingredients, except eggs, blending until smooth and no lumps.
  • Add eggs and extra yoke one at a time blending very slowly just until incorporated into batter. This is where you want to make sure you don't over blend.
  • Cover outside of a nonstick 9" spring form pan with foil creating a water tight barrier and pour in mixture. Place the spring form pan into a larger pan and fill with water half the depth of spring form to create a water bath.
  • Place water bath and cheesecake batter in preheated 300 degree oven for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 200 degrees and bake 1 more hour.
  • Turn off oven and leave cheesecake in oven until completely cool. It's okay to leave it for several hours. Once cool, remove spring form pan, cover with foil and refrigerate.
