Strawberry Cheesecake Swirl

So, we had guests tonight and instead of cheating and having something really yummy, yet really bad for dessert, I found this recipe at skinnytaste.com. It's only 3 Weight Watchers Points Plus points per slice IF you use fat free cream cheese instead of the lowfat that the recipe calls for. I also used low fat graham crackers, but I'm not sure if that made a difference in points or now. Hopefully it did for my belly ;-) Serves 9. Enjoy!


What you will need: 

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 yogurt 

2 large egg whites

2 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp all purpose flour

1/4 cup strawberry jam (I used sugar free)

What you will do:


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.

Stir jam until smooth. Drop by small spoonfuls over surface of filling. Using a knife,swirl jam gently through filling to create marble effect.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool to room temperature. Chill a few hours in the refrigerator.


Enjoy!
