Baked Key Lime Cheesecake—Prototype 1:
3-Cheese Blend (1CT-1NC-1YG):
Prepare ahead of time 16 ounces of yogurt cheese, derived from one 32-ounce
container of nonfat yogurt. If the resulting yogurt cheese falls below 16
ounces, add back enough of the whey (that was strained out from the yogurt) to
make up the difference. To this yogurt cheese combine 16 ounces of whipped,
lowfat cottage cheese and 16 ounces (two 8-ounce packages) of softened
Neufchatel cheese ("light cream cheese").
Grease a 9 1/2" (or 9") springform pan, but do not wrap foil around
it yet (see below).
Crust:
2 oz. melted, white chocolate
8 oz. (1 cup) 3-cheese blend (see above)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 oz. All-Bran, ground up
Place the resulting mixture in the greased pan and pre-bake without tub at 300
degrees for 20 minutes, then cool enough to comfortably touch at least the pan's
upper sidewall.
Batter:
1 5/8 cups granulated sugar
40 oz. (5 cups) 3-cheese blend (see above)
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons key lime juice
2 teaspoons grated key lime zest (peel)
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
6 eggs (brown recommended, large)
Wrap the pan in foil at this point. Carefully pour the batter over the crust and
bake this cheesecake in a hot water tub at 300 degrees for 105 minutes (if using
a 9 1/2" pan). Then shut off oven and cool cheesecake down while still in
it (and in tub), with door slightly ajar, for an hour. Afterwards, remove from
oven and tub and continue to cool down at room temperature for another two
hours, then remove from pan and refrigerate.
