All American Cheesecake

Crust - 4 Tbsp melted unsalted butter

30 Annie's Bunny graham crackers, 1 packet Splenda, 1 cup almond meal processed until crumbs.

Combine melted butter with crumbs, and press into bottom of springform pan

3 8 oz packages cream cheese

1/2 cup soy creamer

1/2 cup Splenda for baking

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

1/2 carton Egg Beaters

zest of one lemon, and juice of 1/2 lemon

In mixer, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add egg beaters and scrape down sides. Add zest. Add creamer. Add vanilla, and lemon juice.

Pour over crust.

Bake in 350 degree oven for about 40-45 minutes. Top should be slightly browned and not too jiggly. Cool in pan and then decorate.

All American topping

1/2 juice of lemon, from above

2 Tbsp red raspberry preserves, no sugar added

1 pkg Splenda

Combine in small saucepan over medium heat.

Add a cup of sliced/chopped strawberries, and warm through.

I put a corner of fresh blueberries and then stripes of strawberries. For the white stripes, I put some sugar free Cool Whip in a little Ziploc bag and piped it (covering any spread out fruit juice)

I also put a few tiny drops of Cool Whip on top of the blueberries to simulate "stars"

I carried this in the springform pan and left the base on for presentation. It should be noted that the BBQ I took this too also featured high fat desserts like chocolate cake and cupcakes, yet more than half was gone as soon as desserts were out. :)
