Ingredients:
- 5 packages (8 oz each) light cream cheese
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3/4 cup Splenda (or another sugar substitute)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a standard pie plate with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and well-combined. Ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is creamy.
-
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pie plate, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. The cheesecake is ready when the top is set and lightly golden brown.
-
Cool the cheesecake completely on a wire rack before refrigerating. This helps the cheesecake set properly.
-
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to firm up and develop its flavors.
-
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This helps achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Avoid Overmixing: Mix the ingredients just until they are combined. Overmixing can incorporate too much air into the batter, potentially causing the cheesecake to crack during baking.
- Baking Time: Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on your cheesecake after about 50 minutes of baking. The edges should be slightly puffed and the center set but still slightly jiggly.
