Low-fat strawberry cheesecake

INGREDIENTS

9 sponge finger biscuits (savoiardi), halved
2 ½ cups (500g) low-fat ricotta
½ cup (110g) sugar
3 eggwhites
grated rind of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 punnets strawberries, hulled
½ cup (110g) caster sugar

METHOD

1. Lay three sponge finger halves over base of each of six 1-cup springform pans.

2. Preheat oven to 190°C or 170°C fan. Using an electric mixer with paddle or V-groove beaters, beat ricotta and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggwhites, then lemon rind and juice.

3. Pour ricotta mixture into prepared shell, spreading out evenly with a spatula. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Chill until firm.

4. Meanwhile, place strawberries in a baking pan and sprinkle with caster sugar. Bake for 8 minutes, until soft and syrupy. Cool. To serve, unmould cheesecakes, transfer to plates and top with roasted strawberries.

Tip 1: You can also bake this cheesecake in a 20 x 30 x 3cm rectangular slice pan.
