WW Blender Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or whole wheat crumbs)
  • 2 tbsp light butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar substitute (like Swerve or a similar product)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar substitute
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar substitute
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp light butter, melted

For the Topping (optional):

  • 1/4 cup light cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar substitute (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted light butter, and granulated sugar substitute. Stir until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even layer.
  3. Blend the Cheesecake Filling: In a blender, add the softened reduced-fat cream cheese, granulated sugar substitute, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar substitute, ground cinnamon, and melted light butter until well combined and crumbly.
  5. Assemble the Cheesecake Bars: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the filling. Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top and then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the top. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cheesecake gently for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center. The center will firm up as it cools.
  7. Cool and Chill: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Then, refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours to set completely.
  8. Prepare the Topping (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together the softened light cream cheese, unsweetened almond milk, and powdered sugar substitute until smooth and creamy.
  9. Slice and Serve: Once the cheesecake bars are chilled and set, lift them out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares and drizzle with the cream cheese topping, if desired.
