2 tablespoons 30mlSugar

* To prepare the yogurt cheese, spoon 4 cups plain nonfat yogurt into 2 coffee filters or a cheesecloth-lined strainer; place over a bowl. Refrigerate, covered, at least 5 hours or overnight. Discard the liquid in the bowl. Makes 2 cups yogurt cheese.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk the yogurt cheese, egg substitute, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the flour and vanilla until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie plate and bake until firm and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Pour over the cheesecake; drizzle with the syrup and bake until the topping is cooked through, about 15 minutes longer. Cool completely on a rack. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled, about 2 hours.
