Cheesecakes for Health Buffs




The last dish that comes to a dieter’s mind is the



cheesecake. It contains large amounts of calories due



to its dairy content and more if toppings are added.



However, no one ever said that you cannot have a cake



and eat it too. No matter what the occasion is, be it



holidays or birthdays, it is never complete without a



cake.





Traditional cheesecake recipes are often loaded with



sugar and fat aside from calories, which could be



detrimental to the cardiovascular health. This can



take away some of the joy out of consuming and



enjoying a dessert. Fortunately, there are several



ways of cooking cheesecakes, which have transformed



the usual recipe by cutting back on the white flour



and limiting the use of ingredients that have



full-fat. These kinds of recipe create healthier



substitutions that will surely satisfy anyone’s sweet



tooth.





About Healthy Cheesecakes





Although the calcium content of cheesecakes is good



for the bone structure, almost all cheesecake treats



are not exactly light cooking. For instance, the New



York style cheesecake calls for heavy amounts of cream



cheese, five eggs, two yolks and cream. It is hard to



admit that cheesecakes are untouchable - and



uneatable- for health conscious individuals.





The absolute triumph in cheesecake history is the



creation of breakthrough recipes that still match the



traditional cheesecake recipe in texture and richness



while cutting the fat by half. Not only are the



fillings healthy in these kinds of cheesecakes but the



crusts too. There are also other kinds of cheesecake



that are designed for diabetics. These kinds of



culinary breakthrough are helpful to those who cannot



enjoy the delight of desserts after a meal.





However, even if the cheesecake is safe enough to eat



for dieters, the most important thing to remember is



moderation. Limit the cheesecake consumption to a



single slice per week. In this way, not only would you



enjoy the delight that the cheesecake brings but also



help you maintain your weight.





Healthy Cheesecake Example





A popular example of a healthy cheesecake is the



low-fat baked cheesecake. In this kind of recipe,



low-fat cream is used, as well as sugar and eggs



substitutes.





For the ingredients, you will need nine-inch reduced



fat graham cracker crust, one-fourth cup skim milk,



one-half cup of egg substitute, two to eight ounces of



fat free cream cheese bars, two tablespoons flour, six



packets of artificial sweetener or one-fourth cup of



Splenda sugar, two teaspoon lemon juice and one



teaspoon vanilla.





In preparing the low-fat baked cheesecake, first



preheat the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. By using a



mixer, combine the flour and milk while keeping the



mixing speed at low. Gently add the cream cheese and



then increase the mixing speed to medium. While still



mixing, add the artificial sweetener or Splenda, egg



substitute, vanilla and lemon juice. Pour the batter



into the crust and bake for at least forty minutes.



Wait until the cheesecake’s center is set. Always



remember to chill the dessert before serving





Despite of it being fat-free and only uses one type of



cheese, the low-fat baked cheesecake is actually



edible. One-fourth piece of each ingredient have the



nutritional facts of 256 calories, .9 grams of fat, 32



grams of carbohydrates, .9 grams of fiber and 22.7



grams of protein. This kind of cheesecake is



absolutely essential for those who want to enjoy the



delight of the cheesecake while avoiding health risks



and probably weight gain.
