Frozen Blueberry Ripple Cheesecake Recipe
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3/4 c. Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 3 Tbsp. Butter or possibly margarine, melted
- 1 c. Sugar
- 1/3 c. Water
- 1/8 tsp Cream of tartar
- 3 x Egg whites
- 16 ounce Cream cheese
- 1/2 c. Lowfat sour cream
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 1 Tbsp. Lemon rind
- 1/2 c. Blueberry jam, or possibly preserves Whipped cream Fresh or possibly frzn unsweetened blueberries
Directions
- Combine crumbs, sugar and butter or possibly margarine in a small bowl; blend well.
- Press firmly over bottom of an 8-inch spring-form pan. Chill. Combine sugar, water and cream of tartar in a small saucepan; bring to boiling.
- Boil rapidly 8 to 10 min or possibly till syrup registers 236 degrees on a candy thermometer (or possibly till syrup spins a 2-inch thread when dropped from a spoon). Meanwhile, in large bowl of electric mixer, beat egg whites till stiff peaks form; pour warm syrup in a thin stream over beaten egg whites while continuing to beat constantly. Continue beating till very stiff peaks form and mix cools (approximately 15 min). Set aside.
- Using electric mixer, beat together cream cheese and lowfat sour cream till light and fluffy; beat in vanilla and lemon rind (1/4 tsp. of ReaLemon juice can be substituted effec- tively). Add in 1/4 of the egg white mix and stir by hand to combine well. Fold remaining egg white mix into cream cheese mix till no streaks remains. Spoon about 1/4 of mix into prepared spring-form pan; drizzle part of blueber- ry preserves over; continue to layer cheese mix and pre- serves in this way. Freeze overnight or possibly till hard. Decorate with whipped cream and blueberries. This is a sure-fire compliment-getting summer dessert! If you prefer, strawberry preserves and fresh strawberries may be substituted for blueberries.
