Atkins Cheesecake Recipes

Ingredients:

=== CRUST ===
1 1/2 cup finely-ground walnuts or pecans
2 tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
=== FILLING ===
2 lb whole milk ricotta cheese
4 oz cream cheese, softened
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup granular sugar substitute
= (such as Splenda)
3 tbsp Atkins Bake Mix
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 tsp grated lemon rind

Instructions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line the outside of an 8-inch springform pan
with a double layer of aluminum foil. Combine crust ingredients; pat onto
bottom and sides of pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden; cool on wire
rack.

In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process ricotta until very
smooth. Add cream cheese; process until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time,
processing until incorporated. Add sugar substitute, bake mix, extract and
lemon rind. Process until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Pour
filling into cooled crust; smooth top.

Bake cheesecake in a water bath 1 hour until puffed and golden and a
toothpick inserted 1-inch from center comes out clean. Cool in oven 30
minutes. Remove from oven, cool to room temperature on a wire rack, then
refrigerate until well chilled.

Comments: Baking in a water bath gives this cheesecake a creamy texture
and ensures even cooking. Simply place a large roasting pan in the center
rack of the oven, put the cheesecake pan in the center and fill with enough
hot water to come at least halfway up the sides of the pan.
