I created this recipe using low-fat cream cheese and low-fat sour cream, which has about 40% less fat than the regular version. I also only used egg whites in this recipe because they are fat-free. The result is a cheesecake with all the wonderful flavor and texture, but only half the fat, whoo-hoo!

The taste is creamy and not too sweet, with a natural vanilla aroma. The simple blueberry sauce adds a sweet fruity flavour to the tangy cheesecake. This dessert is melt-in-your-mouth good and you won’t believe it’s low-fat. So, enjoy all of the pleasures of a delicious cheesecake with none of the guilt.

      I actually made this for my husband’s birthday. He’s a big cheesecake fan too. Give this recipe a try, I guarantee you won’t be able to tell that it is low-fat. The taste and texture is the same as a full fat cheesecake. Thanks for the visit Josette:)
