Healthy Citrus Cheesecake


This is adapted from sparkpeople.com. it sounds yum and it's only 177 calories/4.2 grams fat per serving. i'm not crazy about fat-free cream cheese and sour cream, so i will probably try it using the light versions instead, which will up the calories and fat content, but not by much.

Steps


Preheat oven to 300 f.
Prepare the crust: coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl , mix crumbs , brown sugar and butter then firmly press mixture into bottom and 2 inches up the sides of the pan.
Prepare the filling: in a large sized mixing bowl , combine sugar and flour then add vanilla , cream cheese , and eggs.
Beat until smooth.
Add milk , sour cream , citrus juices and zests and beat until smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl , using clean and dry beaters , beat egg whites at room temperature at high speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 1 / 4 cup sugar , 1 tablespoon at a time and beat until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold egg white mixture with cream cheese mixture.
Pour into prepared crust and bake at 300 f for 1 hour or until set.
Remove from oven and let completely cool on a wire rack.
Cover and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
Sprinkle with grated lemon , lime and orange zest before serving.
