You really can’t go wrong with cheesecake; it’s creamy, sweet and often has a subtle zest that lingers in your mouth after every spoonful. What if we told you that this baked lime cheesecake recipe was sugar and gluten free? It almost sounds too good to be true, however thanks to Carolyn Hartz’s new Sugar Free Baking book, set for release in October, it’s not.
Enjoy as a lemon variation by replacing the zest.

Ingredients
250g light fresh ricotta
220g light cream cheese
250g low fat natural yoghurt
90g Perfect Sweet xylitol
2 extra-large eggs
Zest of 1 lime (or lemon), finely grated
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 160˚C/140˚C fan-forced. Line the base of a 20cm spring form pan with baking paper.
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Use an electric beater to beat at medium speed until smooth.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until set and a round bladed knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Turn oven off and leave cheesecake to cool in oven with the door slightly ajar.
- Run a knife around the edge of cheesecake to loosen, remove the side of the pan and refrigerate cheesecake to chill until cold, preferably overnight.
Tip: Leaving the cheesecake to cool in the oven helps prevent the surface from cracking.
