AMERICAN STYLE LEMON CHEESECAKE

Serves 6

Approx. 4 Syns per serving

2 eggs, separated
4 heaped tbsp. FF Fromage Frais
200g BGTY plain cottage cheese or similar
300g extra light Philadelphia cream cheese - 18 Syns
2 level tbsp. cornflour - 7 Syns
Approx. half a cup of sweetener or to taste
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon

Pre-heat the oven to 160C/Gas 2/3.
Combine all the ingredients, except the egg whites, in a large bowl and beat with an electric blender until smooth, thick and silky in appearance. Beat until the consistency of the cottage cheese smooths out.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, then beat in the cornflour.
Slowly fold the egg white mixture into the large bowl, until combined.
Transfer the mixture to a ceramic, shallow baking dish and bake for approx. 40 minutes or until risen and golden.

Allow to cool completely, then chill in the fridge before serving.
