Servings: 8
Prep Time: 10 Min. Cook Time: 35 Min. What you need:
Cheesecake:
* 1 c. graham cracker crumbs * 2 - 6 oz. containers low-fat vanilla yogurt * 1 c. non-fat cottage cheese * 4 oz. lowfat cream cheese * 1 Tbsp. cornstarch * 1/2 c. egg substitute Blueberry Sauce: * 2 c. fresh or frozen blueberries * 2 Tbsp. sugar * 1 Tbsp. lemon juice * 1 Tbsp. water What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and side of a 9" pie plate with vegetable cooking spray; sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, and tilt to coat evenly.
2. Place a coffee filter or two layers of paper towels in a strainer; stir 1 container of the yogurt and spoon it into the filter; set aside to drain, stirring occasionally, about 30 min. 3. Meanwhile, in a food processor, blend the remaining container of yogurt, cottage cheese, cream cheese and cornstarch until smooth. Add the eggs and pulse until combined. Carefully pour into the crumb-coated pie plate; smooth top. Bake until set in the center, about 30 min. 4. Meanwhile, prepare the Blueberry Sauce. In a medium-size saucepan, over medium heat, stir blueberries with sugar, lemon juice and water until berries are soft, about 5 min; chill. 5. When pie is set, spread the drained yogurt over the top; bake 5 min. longer. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Chill until cold. Serve with Blueberry Sauce. * Nutrition information reflects 1 1/2 Tbsp. Blueberry Sauce per serving. Nutritional information:
