Cheesecake





This recipe was adapted from a recipe my mother-in-law makes. This is my husband's favorite cheesecake.


Serves 12 ( 7 points + )


Crust:

  • 24 whole reduced fat graham crackers, crushed or processed in a food processor
  • ¼ c. light stick, butter, melted



Filling:

  • 1 lb. reduced fat cream cheese
  • ½ c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla



Topping:

  • 1 pint fat-free sour cream ( Breakstone's is a good brand)
  • 5 T. sugar
  • 1 lb. frozen strawberries, mashed
  • 1 T. sugar



Mix graham crackers with melted butter. Press into the bottom of an 8" square pan.
Beat cream cheese, ½ c. sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Pour over graham cracker crust. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until middle is almost set. Cool for 15 minutes.


Beat sour cream with 5 T. sugar for 2 minutes. Pour over cream cheese layer. Bake at 450 for 5 minutes. 
Cool completely. Cover with foil and refrigerate several hours.


Mash frozen strawberries with 1 T. sugar. Spoon over the top of cheesecake.

  2. It sounds wonderful...but no sour cream in the ingredients list, unless that fat free cream cheese listed in the Topping should be fat free sour cream. Let us know, dying to try it!
