I found a recipe for Creamsicle Cheesecake Bars in Woman's Day Magazine. I just wanted a small pie, so I adapted the recipe to lower the fat and make a small pie.
7 (4 oz) graham crackers
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 pkg. (8 oz) Neufchâtel cream cheese, at room
temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup non-fat sour cream
2 large eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 Tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 inch pie plate with canola
oil spray.
Put the graham crackers in a 1 gallon food storage bag and
crush finely with rolling pin. Put crumbs in medium mixing bowl and cut in
butter with pastry blender or two knives until combined. Press the cookie
mixture into the bottom and sides of the
prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
Put the cream cheese, sugar, and flour in a mixing bowl and
cream with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the sour cream, then the eggs
and vanilla. Add 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate and beat to combine. Reserve 2
Tbsp of the batter and pour the rest on top of the prepared crust.
Whisk the remaining Tbsp orange juice concentrate into the
reserved batter and transfer to a small plastic bag (the mixture will be thin).
Snip a tiny bit off one corner of the bag and pipe lines lengthwise over the
batter, spacing them 3/4 inch apart. Drag a skewer down through the lines to
form a pattern.
Bake until the cheesecake is just set (the center should
still wobble slightly), 18 to 20 minutes. Let the cheesecake cool completely in
the pan, then refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
