| Spray an 9" X 3" springform pan with the cooking spray. Sprinkle the bottom with the graham cracker crumbs and set aside. (You may want to wrap the bottom of the pan with foil, because the mixture may leak during baking.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Blend the ricotta cheese, sugar, eggs, egg whites, flour, lemon peel and rum extract together in a food processor until smooth. Pour the cheese mixture over the crumbs in the pan. Sprinkle with the almonds, cherries and raisins. Bake for 45 minutes. With the oven door closedd, turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake in the oven for another 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Refrigerate overnight for easier slicing. Makes 12 servings, 4 points each. |
