1 cup low-fat graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
6 cups Nonfat Yogurt Cheese (recipe follows)
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Assorted berries and/or cut fruits in season (optional, for garnish)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In bowl, mix crumbs and butter. Pat evenly over bottom of a 9-inch
springform pan.

Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside. Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees F.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat Yogurt Cheese, sugar and eggs on high speed for 1 minute. Mix in flour, vanilla and zest just until blended. Pour into prepared crust.

Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F and continue to bake for 1 hour or until center barely jiggles when cake is shaken. Run a thin-bladed knife between cake and pan. Cool slightly, then refrigerate, uncovered, until cake is completely chilled, at least 3 hours.

Garnish as desired. Cut into wedges to serve. (If making ahead, cover when cool and chill up to 1 day.)
