graham cracker (or plain vanilla biscuits)<\/li>\n<li>75 grams (1\/3 cup) melted butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For the yogurt cheesecake filling:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>5 large eggs (separated)<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<li>200 grams (1 cup) sugar (or sugar substitute)<\/li>\n<li>750 grams (3 cups) low fat white cheese (or ricotta)<\/li>\n<li>280 grams (1 \u00bd cups) natural yogurt<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>Zest of \u00bd lemon<\/li>\n<li>40 grams (4 tbsp.) cornstarch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For yogurt topping:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>140 grams (3\/4 cup) natural yogurt<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp.

a dish with boiling water at the bottom of the oven.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Crust:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>In a food processor with a steel blade, grind biscuits into thin powder.<\/li>\n<li>Add melted butter and mix until uniform.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the crumbs to the pan and tighten it firmly to form a crust.<\/li>\n<li>Cool in the freezer until preparing the filling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Yogurt cheesecake filling:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>In a mixer bowl whip egg whites and salt at high speed until whiteish foam begins to form.<\/li>\n<li>Add sugar gradually and continue to whip until you get an airy and flexible foam.<\/li>\n<li>In a separate bowl, mix egg yolks, white cheese, yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest and cornstarch into a uniform mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Add the whipped egg whites into the cheese mixture and fold gently until combined.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the batter over the cold crust and straighten the top.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for 60-90 minutes or until the cake is golden at the top and set at the edges, but is still slightly vibrating in the center.<\/li>\n<li>Turn off the oven and let the cake cool down completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Yogurt topping:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>In a small bowl, mix yogurt and powdered sugar into a uniform mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the mixture over the top of the cake and cool in the refrigerator overnight.<\/li>\n<li>Before serving, decorate with a<\/li>\n<li>little grated lemon zest.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-notes\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: left\">\n<li>The cake is kept in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to spare some calories, you can prepare the cake without the crust and convert the sugar into a sugar substitute (according to the conversion ratios listed in each sugar substitute package).<\/li>\n<li>Instead of cornstarch, all-purpose flour can be used in the same amount.<\/li>\n<li>If you do not like lemon, you can omit the lemon peel.<\/li>\n<li>It is important not to give up the vanilla in the filling.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-meta\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--End WPRM Recipe--><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21094\"
