How to Make Fat Free Cheesecake

  6. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar and ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, beating until well combined.
  7. Beat in 1 cup of fat-free sour cream, 3 large egg whites, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust.
  9. Place the pie plate in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
  12. Top with fresh strawberries (or your favorite topping) before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
