Skinny Taste

I recently discovered a website called Skinny Taste. By the name you can gather that this website is home to recipes for people looking to eat lighter while still eating the things they love.. I found a recipe for Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake on this site and it was delicious! I have not yet perfected the Cheesecake baking ( Parts were still wet-ish and other parts were baked nicely) but my 'mediocre' attempt turned out pretty good.

The ingredients and directions are as follows:


  • non stick cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tbsp light butter, softened
  • 8 oz package reduced fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 6 oz fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam 

Heat oven to 350°. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick spray.

Mix together graham cracker crumbs and butter with a fork until evenly moistened. Press evenly into bottom of prepared pan.

Gently beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth using an electric mixer. Gradually beat in fat free yogurt, egg whites, lemon juice, and flour. Do not over beat. Pour over graham cracker crust.

Stir jam until smooth. Drop by small spoonfuls over surface of filling. Using a knife, swirl jam gently through filling to create marble effect.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool to room temperature. Chill a few hours in the refrigerator
Now I tweaked this a little and used Fat Free Cream Cheese, Truvia instead of Sugar,Chobani Greek Yogurt and Sugar Free jam.. It still tasted great!
I snacked on the left overs guilt free!
