Gluten Free, Low Fat Lemon Cheesecakes recipe

Lemon Cheesecakes

It is hard enough to find recipes the entire family will agree upon, but imagine adding a child with celiac disease to the mix. When my daughter was diagnosed a year ago we had to undergo a radical menu change. She missed her favorite foods and complained she could no longer go out with friends for a simple meal. When Egglands Best asked us to share one of our favorite recipes, I immediately thought of these mini Lemon Cheesecakes. They control diet cravings during the diet when I want to gnaw off someone’s arm, please the entire family and provide my daughter with her favorite dessert;cheesecake. The texture of these cakes are a little different, being a little more spongy. I solved these problem by placing them in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to serving which firms them up quite a bit.
