How to Make My Citrus Cheesecake Dessert
- Preheat your conventional oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Crush 1 ½ cups graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add ¼ cup water and 2 tablespoons maple syrup; mix until moist.
- Lightly grease a 9x11 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Press the cracker mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, soften 16 ounces cream cheese in the microwave for 1 minute. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1 (3 ounce) package lime Jell-O powder until smooth.
- Add 4 large egg whites and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup sugar substitute (or granulated sugar). Mix until well combined.
- Remove the crust from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
- Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (230°C), then reduce the heat to 250°F (120°C) and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the center is just set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake.
- Cut into 24 square pieces.
- Let cool completely before removing from the pan to prevent crumbling.
- For the optional citrus topping:
- Puree ½ cup lemon juice in a food processor until smooth.
- Peel and finely chop the zest of 1 orange.
- Combine the lemon puree and orange zest.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 2 tablespoons sugar substitute (or granulated sugar).
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of the citrus topping onto each cheesecake square.
- Top each square with 1 blueberry and a sprinkle of sugar.
- Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
