So today (technically yesterday, I'm posting a little late) is National Cheesecake Day! I made a trip to the grocery store and picked up some low-fat cream cheese in festive spirit (why not?) I adapted this recipe from Gina's Skinny Recipes to a peaches and cream version instead of strawberry, but you can definitely do whatever flavour you like.
Peaches and Cream Cheesecake Bars (Low Fat) serves 9
- non stick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tbsp light butter, softened
- 8 oz package reduced fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 6 oz fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup peach jam
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 8" square pan with cooking spray. Mix graham cracker crumbs with butter until evenly moistened, and press into pan.
Beat cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in yogurt, egg whites, lemon juice, and flour, but don't over-beat. Pour over graham cracker crust. Drop dollops of jam on the cream cheese filling and using a knife, swirl to make a marbled pattern.
Bake for 20-25 mins until centre is almost set. Cool at room temperature, and chill for at least 3 hours.
