Light Microwave Cheesecake
9-inch graham cracker crust
15 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
3 egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
10 fresh strawberries (for topping)
In a medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Beat at high speed with a mixer until smooth. Microwave on high for 4 to 7 minutes or until very hot, stirring every 2 minutes with a whisk. Pour into prepared crust.
Microwave at 50 percent (medium) for 7 to 15 minutes or until center is almost set, rotating dish one-quarter turn after every 3 minutes. Filling becomes firm as it chills. Chill for at least 6 hours. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
Makes 10 servings.
