Expert Tips

Egg whites provide the protein from eggs but don't contain the cholesterol found in egg yolks. That's good news for your heart.

Place the springform pan on a cookie sheet before putting in the oven to keep pesky drips in check.

If you’re an almond or walnut lover, use them in place of the pecans.

I'm looking up this recipe to make for the second time. It tasted wonderful and any concessions on flavor or texture are barely noticeable and well worth it if I can eat an extra slice without the guilt! I used reduced-sugar vanilla yogurt (with Splenda). Fresh berries are an excellent garnish too! My only complaint is the crust which I found too thin and soggy. I prefer a good crunchy graham crust. You could also make a chocolate crust with the oreo wafer.

I made this cheesecake & it was very successful! My husband & I loved it (and believe me, he's picky with cheesecakes). The consistancy comes out perfect & very flavorful. The only suggestion I would make is to add about double the amount of nilla wafers for more of a substancial crust...other than that it's perfect!
