Low Fat Cheesecake
From Ginas Skinny Recipes.....Her words and all.
I'm not smart enough to get the picture to attach
Low fat cheesecake swirled with strawberry jam on graham cracker crust.
I was experimenting with cheesecake and fat-free Greek yogurt this week with fabulous results. I personally thought it could have used a touch more sugar, but my husband disagreed so I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to add another tablespoon of sugar to your batter.
This can be made with your favorite flavored jam, I used sugar free Strawberry but the possibilities are endless. I have a jar of mixed berry jam I can't wait to use to make another batch.

Heat oven to 350°. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick spray.
Mix together graham cracker crumbs and butter with a fork until evenly moistened. Press evenly into bottom of prepared pan.
Gently beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth using an electric mixer. Gradually beat in fat free yogurt, egg whites, lemon juice, and flour. Do not over beat. Pour over graham cracker crust.

I've made something similar to this before too, only instead of the cracker crumbs, make it even healthier with crushed Fiber One cereal (Original Variety). Also, just because I love fresh fruit, I would swap thawed frozen raspberries or strawberries instead of the fruit spread.0

bump----gonna try this soon0

I made this today and it was spectacular! Had friends over and they LOVED the cheesecake. It is such a simple, yet tasty recipe, that you can tweak it any way you want! I did make two batches of the crumbs to easily cover the bottom of the baking dish, otherwise kept the recipe the same.
I am anxious to try fresh fruit, or mix in frozen fruit to the batter...just a very nice basic recipe you can add to. Thanks for sharing it.0 -
Sounds Great! Bump0
