    I have a recipe for Blueberry cheesecake Bars that is to die for. You can't tell the difference!

    The filling is made with:

    8 oz tub-style light cream cheese
    4 oz nonfat fat cream cheese ( I used fat free)
    2/3 cup granulated no-calorie sweetener (I used Truvia)
    1 large egg
    1 large egg white
    3/4 tsp vanilla extract
    1/4 tsp almond exract
    1 cup of blueberries. (You can leave them out if you want it plain)

    Beat the cream cheeses and sweetener together in a medium bowl. Beat in the egg, the whites and the extracts. Don't over mix.
    Fold in blueberries and pour into a graham cracker crust in 8x8 square pan

    Bake in 350 oven until the edges are firm and the center is set. About 25 mins. but ovens vary.

    Makes 15 bars.
    Calories:100 Carbs: 8g Total fat: 5g (sat fat 3g), Protein: 4g, Fiber: 0 g, Cholestrol: 25g, Sodium: 130 mg

    Enjoy! My husband had no idea it was this low in calories.

    Why not make them into little cheesecake bites instead of a big cheese cake? You can use a mini muffin pan.

    That is brilliant!

    These are crack. Definitely use the 1/3 fat cream cheese--fat free has a weird texture, full fat tastes too oily.
