Cooking with Sake: Easy and Healthy Cheesecake

Enjoy a refreshing taste made with strained yogurt!
This recipe makes cheesecake healthier by reducing the amount of cream cheese in half and replacing it with strained yogurt. Also, the sourness of lemon juice and yogurt gives it a refreshing taste.

As you can see Japanese sake can be used widely in western confectionaries as well! Spraying sake before baking the cheesecake helps the color turn into an appetizing golden brown.
