• Filling
• 1 15-ounce container part skim ricotta cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a small bowl, combine walnuts, graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar; press into bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Bake 3 to 5 minutes, until lightly browned; let cool.

In a large bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, combine ricotta cheese, sour cream, flour, the remaining sugar, and lemon juice until smooth; set aside.

Pour over the prepared crust, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center is nearly set. Cool for 30 to 35 minutes, then chill for 4 to 5 hours, or overnight, before serving.
