1 WW Point Blueberry Cheesecake
Servings: 8
WW Points (Freestyle): 1 point per serving
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (use reduced-fat if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon light butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (such as Stevia or Splenda)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or sugar substitute of choice)
- 1 large egg (or use egg substitute for lower points, like 1/4 cup egg whites)
For the Blueberry Topping:
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed if frozen)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (optional, depending on your preference)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sweetener. Stir until the crumbs are well coated.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of 8 individual serving cups or one small pie dish, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a medium bowl, beat together the fat-free Greek yogurt, reduced-fat cream cheese, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and egg until smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or whisk.
- Spoon the filling over the cooled crust in your serving cups or pie dish, smoothing the top.
- Bake the cheesecake for 20-25 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Don’t overbake to keep it creamy.
- Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for a few minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until fully chilled.
3. Prepare the Blueberry Topping:
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and sweetener (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
4. Serve:
- Once the cheesecake is chilled, spoon the blueberry topping over the top of each cheesecake.
- Serve and enjoy!
Storage:
- Store any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
