Low Fat Cheesecake Recipe?
Following on from the fantastic answers to my last question, could the talented with food amongst you please give me some advice on how to make a low fat cheesecake that my Susan can enjoy without worrying about too many calories?
She loves lemon, apricots, mandarins, mangoes and, of course, chocolate.
Our two girls aged 10 and 8 will no doubt be wanting to get involved with this, too.

INGREDIENTS:
15 ginger or vanilla wafer cookies (such as Mi-Del brand)
Cooking spray
1 8-ounce pack fat free cream cheese, softened
1 8-ounce pack light cream cheese, softened
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 egg
4 egg whites
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 cup sugar
2 cups seasonal berries
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Place cookies in a small food processor and make crumbs—or place cookies in a large resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Scatter crumbs in the bottom of the pan and press down. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, place cream cheeses and cottage cheese in a large mixing bowl or in a blender. Beat with an electric mixer or blend until smooth and creamy. Add egg and beat/blend into cream cheese mixture, followed by egg whites, beating until blended. Add lemon juice, zest and sugar, and beat/blend until well combined.
Empty cheesecake filling into springform pan. Bake in oven for 50 minutes, until the center is almost set. Remove from oven. Run a palette knife around the outside of the cheesecake to allow air to circulate a little, and cool on a wire rack. Carefully remove rim of pan, then chill for at least 4 hours.
Top with berries.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMHfM
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Why don't you just encourage her to eat some fruit? Cheesecake, if it's going to edible at all, has to have quite a lot of fat in it. You can't eat whatever you want and expect it to be good for you. Eat something else that really is good for you, or else eat genuine cheesecake, enjoy it and live with the consequences, but don't mess about with disgusting cheesecake substitutes.
