Best Answer

The function of cream cheese is to add structure to the product. Usually flour will provide the majority of the structure of a cake (since it contains gluten, a protein), but in a cheesecake, there is less flour due to the addition of cheese. Additionally the cheese adds a unique texture and flavor.

You Can Make A Low-Fat Cheesecake Recipe?

You might scoff at the idea of a low-fat cheesecake recipe, but it's possible. Find a recipe that uses low-fat cream cheese, ricotta and other components. You should also use egg whites instead of whole eggs. When the cheesecake is finished, you need not make it anymore fattening. Do not add that dollop of whipped cream to the side nor a scoop of ice cream. Share the cheesecake with friends so that you are not tempted to eat the entire thing by yourself, and you will truly have found success when it comes to a healthier cheesecake.
