cream the cheese fi rst, and then add the

is achieved without overbeating. Add
vanilla and sour cream. Mix to combine.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites
until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in
one third the egg whites into the cream
cheese to lighten the mixture. Add the
rest of the egg whites, folding gently
taking care not to defl ate the bubbles.
Turn the mixture into the cooled spring

1 tablespoon lemon juice in a medium
bowl. Toss to coat and let sit 10 minutes.
7. Slice the cheesecake using a knife dipped
