Recipe News: Recipe for Ricotta Cheesecake
Cheesecake is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. But it's hard to be pleased with the amount of fat in many classic versions - usually more than 30 grams per serving. But happily, a delicious lighter cheesecake is possible.
Typical cheesecakes contain as much as three-quarters of a pound of fat, most of it from the cream cheese and heavy cream or sour cream in the filling. In addition, a traditional graham cracker crust can add an entire stick of butter.
