Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • small mixing bowl
  • 9" pie plate
  • Rolling Pin
  • hand mixer or food processor

Ingredients  

  • 1 full size graham cracker
  • 4 tsp flour
  • cup Whole Earth monk fruit with erythritol or other sweetener equivalent to ⅓ c sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 15 oz fat free ricotta
  • ¾ cup plain non-fat yougurt, drained overnight or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 egg whites or 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 ℉
  • Using a rolling pin, crush 1 full square of graham crackers into crumbs.
  • Grease and dust a 9" pie plate with graham cracker crumbs. Shake out excess crumbs.
  • Beat ricotta and yogurt until smooth with a hand mixer or food processor.
  • Mix flour, sugar substitute, and salt together and then mix into the ricotta and yogurt mixture. Taste for sweetness. Add more sweetener if you desire.
  • Add the egg whites to the cheese mixture and mix thoroughly. Pour into the pie plate.
  • Bake for 30 min. The cheese cake will be jiggly in the middle but a knife inserted in the center will come out relatively clean.
  • Cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at lest 4 hr before serving.

Notes

The cheesecake will hold up well in the refrigerator for four days.
 
When 2 tbsp of cornstarch was used instead of flour, the recipe was runny and took much longer to cook.  1 tbsp of cornstarch is equivalent to 2 tbsp of flour. I have not tried increasing the amount of cornstarch.
