Deciding to eat healthily has marvelous benefits and is becoming a more popular way of life. The overall economy is impacted by the number of people who suffer from conditions such as hypertension, which is directly linked to poor eating habits. Although we're always being advised to adopt healthy eating habits, it is also easier than ever to rely on fast food and other convenience items that are not good for us. People typically assume that healthy diets require much work and will significantly change the way they live and eat. Contrary to that information, people can modify their eating habits for the better by implementing some modest changes.

It's not a bad idea if you wish to make considerable changes, but the most vital thing is to step by step switch to making healthier eating selections.

As with many other habits, change occurs over a period of time and once a new way of eating becomes part of who you are, you are not going to feel the need to return to your old diet.

Hence, it should be fairly obvious that it's not at all difficult to add healthy eating to your everyday life.

Instructions to make German Cheesecake:

1. Some points to note: i. Keifer cheese in US comes in a 450 gm pack so I used that and increased the amount of whipping cream by one oz. ii. To make vanilla sugar, I added pure vanilla paste to normal sugar and mixed it well before using. This is just a shortcut and other methods are preferred :).
2. Iii. The crust of this cheesecake resembles that of a pie crust, so gentle handling is recommended to not make it too hard. But at the same time, it is very difficult to handle. Diana mentions in her recipe that she rolled out the dough twice to make it manageable but I had to do that thrice :).
3. For the crust,Sift the flour. Add the baking powder, lemon rind, salt and vanilla-sugar and sugar. Rub in the butter until the mixture gets the consistency of crumbs. Add the beaten egg and knead to a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling foil and chill in the fridge for an hour..
4. Preheat oven to 300 F (150 C). Keep aside a 9 inch sprinform pan..
5. Roll the dough out once (approx 11-12 inch disk of uniform thickness) on a well floured surface, make into a dough and roll again. Repeat if its still unmanageable :).
6. Place the dough in the springform pan and press it gently against the base and sides, almost till the top of the pan. Put the pan in the fridge till you prepare the filling..
7. Beat egg yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar until pale. Add butter and whipping cream, beating after each addition. Add the cheese and stir until its combined well in the mixture. Set aside..
8. Beat egg whites in a clean bowl until foamy. Add salt and beat till stiff peaks..
9. Gently fold in the cheese mixture in the egg whites, adding cornstarch a little at a time..
10. Pour the filling in the prepared crust and gently even it out. Trim the excess dough leaving about an inch on the sides..
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour until golden brown. It took about an hour and 10 mins for me. The cheesecake at this point will be very well risen..
12. Cool the cheesecake with the oven door open for about 15 mins. During this time, it will sink dramatically (see pictures)..
13. Take it out of oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about one more hour. Refrigerate for a few hours (better overnight) before serving..
14. Mine was served with sliced strawberries and everybody had seconds and thirds of this little piece of heaven. Thanks Diana! :).
