Ingredients:
* 32 oz cream cheese
* 4 large eggs
* 1 large egg yolk
* 3 oz sour cream, light
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 fl oz lemon juice
* 8 oz splenda
Directions:
- With an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese and Splenda at slow to medium speed, scraping sides often. Add all other ingredients except eggs.
- When completely mixed (with no lumps), add the eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, beating very slowly.
- When eggs are incorporated, do not mix any more. Over mixing the eggs is a contributing cause of cracked cheesecakes.
- Pour the mixture into the springform pan. Place the pan on a very large piece of aluminum foil, and fold the foil up around the pan to create a watertight barrier around the cheesecake.
- Then place the barrier pan in an even larger pan and fill the larger pan halfway with water. This is called a water bath. It is a gentler way to cook the cheesecake.
- Place the entire water bath containing the cheesecake in a 300° F (150° C) pre-heated oven.
- Cook for 1 hour and reduce heat to 200° F (90° C) for 1 more hour.
- Turn oven off and leave cheesecake in until the oven is completely cool. The cheesecake can even be left overnight at this point. Cracks can also occur when a cheesecake cools too quickly.
