Strawberry Cheesecake Cups
These easy Strawberry Cheesecake Cups are sweet, creamy, decadent, and lightened up!
Ingredients
- 12 Nilla Wafers cookies
- 8 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 5.3 oz container of fat free Vanilla Greek yogurt, I use Dannon Light & Fit
- 6 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups quartered strawberries, (after cutting the greens off, cut the berries into four quarters, or halves if they are small)
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375. Place cupcake liners into 12 cups of a standard sized muffin/cupcake tin and place a Nilla Wafer in the bottom of each liner.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, yogurt, five tablespoons of the sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and egg and mix together using an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. Spoon the mixture evenly on top of the cookies in the prepared liners and spread flat with a spatula or the back or a spoon. Bake for 15-16 minutes and remove from oven to cool.
- While the cheesecake cups are cooking, mist a small saucepan with cooking spray and bring over medium heat. Add the strawberries and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a small dish, stir together the cornstarch and warm water until smooth and add to theraspberries. Add the remaining tablespoon of sugar and stir to combine. Allow the strawberry mixture to bubble and then cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 2-4 minutes until mixture has thickened.
- Once the cheesecake cups have cooled to room temperature, spoon the strawberry topping evenly over the center of each cup (about a tablespoon each) and transfer the cheesecake cups to the refrigerator. Chill for at least one hour. Serve chilled.
