Ingredients: 16 oz low fat ricotta (preferred) [4P, 11F] 8 oz low fat 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 [2C] (plus another for coating the pan) 1 tablespoon vanilla extract [Free] juice and rind of 1 lemon [Free] 6 oz. Evaporated skim milk [2P, 2C] 2 oz. Low fat milk [Free] cooking spray [Free] 8 or 9 inch spring form pan, well seasoned.

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 f.

• 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.

• Prepare pan by spritzing with cooking spray and lightly coating inside with oat bran flour.

• 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 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 almonds or 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.
