Dessert-8008

Crust
1 cup	graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon	ginger
1/2 teaspoon	cinnamon
1/4 cup	canola oil

Filling
1 pound	cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup	sugar
1 tablespoon	lime juice
1 envelope	gelatin
1/4 cup	orange liqueur or water
8 ounces	reduced-calorie whipped topping

Lime Glaze
1/4 cup	lime juice
2 tablespoons	cornstarch
1/2 cup	sugar

Preparation
Crust: Combine all ingredients for crust. Coat a springform pan with non-stick spray. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan. With fingers, distribute crust evenly over the bottom of the pan, pressing firmly. It must be a very firm, compact layer and should be on the bottom only, not on the sides. Bake in 350-degree F oven for about 10 minutes or until it begins to brown slightly. Filling: With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and airy. Add lime juice. Combine gelatin with water or liqueur. Melt this mixture over very low heat, just until gelatin dissolves, being careful not to overheat, or it will not set. Add gelatin mixture, stirring constantly, to cream cheese mixture. Immediately fold in whipped topping. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or freeze. Lime Glaze: Combine all ingredients for glaze and bring to a boil; cook for 2 minutes. Brush cheesecake with glaze and serve. Yield 10 servings
