Okay, when I first came across this recipe, I knew that it would be perfect for my boyfriend. I ran into a couple of problems, though. I wasn't sure how to beat egg whites to be "stiff, but not dry" and the crust was quite crumbly. The sauce was great, but the recipe made waaay too much. I liked the lemony twist to the cake as well. So, as my rating shows, I give this cheesecake a 3. It was average...but then again, maybe I didn't make it right! :)

I made this for a recent office bake-off contest and won 2nd prize. It is a very light recipe both in taste and calories. I used all low fat ingredients in graham crackers, sour cream and cream cheese. As a first time cc baker I was thrilled. A couple tips for making this work best. Put crumbs in freezer while whipping egg whites, and processing crumbs and cream base. Also, wrap pan in aluminum foil to 1" above edges to even out baking and leave it in oven till cool if not done up to 4-5 hours with door closed. I used no added sugar in egg whites. Sauce was excellent without straining it. Comments included were attractive, very colorful, tasty, and light. My pan size was 9 3/4" so added more crumbs. Shell crumbled some during its travels from home to work site. Cake froze during an overnight refrigeration. Still tasted great. Thanks
