Ingredients
For The Cheesecake:
- 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon Splenda or zero-calorie sweetener of choice or sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 ounces white baking chocolate 3 squares
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For The Topping:
- 1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Splenda or zero-calorie sweetener of choice or sugar
For The White Chocolate Strawberry Hearts:
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- Strawberry jam
- Fat-free half-and-half or milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 6 muffins tins with muffin liners.
- Beat the cream cheese, Splenda, and lemon juice until blended and smooth.
- Melt the white baking chocolate in a large bowl in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval, until melted.
- Add the melted chocolate, Greek yogurt, egg white, and vanilla into the cream cheese mixture and beat until well blended.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheesecakes feel just set.
- While the cheesecakes bake, make the topping. In a medium bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt and Splenda.
- Once the cheesecakes have finished baking, divide the topping evenly among each cheesecake and spread it over the top.
- Turn the oven temperature down to 250°F and bake the cheesecakes for 5 minutes more, until the topping feels just set.
- Let the cheesecakes cool completely and then refrigerate them for at least 5 hours or overnight.
For The White Chocolate Strawberry Hearts:
- Line a small cookie sheet with parchment paper. Melt the white chocolate in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval, until melted.
- Stir in as much strawberry jam as you want to reach the desired shade of pink.
- If the mixture becomes to thick, thin it with a splash of fat-free half-and-half or milk.
- Transfer the melted chocolate into a pastry bag or plastic sandwich bag with one of the corners snipped off and pipe heart shapes onto the parchment paper.
- Freeze until hard, about 5-10 minutes, and place on top of each cheesecake.
