Cheesecake
Cheesecake is one of the most famous and most adored cakes in the world, but the regular recipe for it isn’t a best friend to your summer body. It contains rather high amounts of fat, especially in the crust, so the best way to make low-fat cheesecake is to use light, fat-free cream cheese for the cheese part of the cake, and to cut down the crust as much as you can. Use less butter for the crust and cover only the bottom part of the pan with the dough, so a cake won’t have the crust on the sides. If you want to go full low-fat, remove crust completely and make crustless cheesecake!
Ingredients
- 18 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese, room temp.
- 2/3 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup granulated stevia (or other sweeteners)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, divided
- 1/3 cup mini dark chocolate chips
