This lovely little dessert was served at a bridal shower I attended. Everyone loved it! The best part is that this cheesecake is low in fat. You mean “low fat” and “cheesecake” are words you can use in the same sentence? Yes they are! In fact, I have a few low fat cheesecake recipes to share with you this month. Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts yet I never eat it. I cannot justify the amount of fat and calories in one slice even in the face of such delicious goodness. So I have made it my mission to find low fat cheesecake recipes that taste great!
Mini Berry Cheesecakes
Nonstick spray coating
1/3 cup crushed vanilla wafers (8 wafers)
1-1/2 8-ounce tubs fat-free cream cheese, softened (12 ounces total)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup frozen egg product, thawed
3/4 cup red raspberries; blueberries and/or sliced strawberries
Lightly coat 10 muffin cups with nonstick coating. Sprinkle bottom and sides of each cup with about 1 teaspoon of the crushed vanilla wafers. Set pan aside.
In a medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add sugar, flour, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Add egg product and beat on low speed just until combined. Divide evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake in a 325 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until set. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours.
Remove cheesecakes from the muffin cups. Just before serving, top cheesecakes with fresh fruit.
