Low Fat Strawberry Cheesecake
Low Fat Strawberry Cheesecake! A healthy recipe for creamy cheesecake full of fresh, juicy strawberries.
At our house, we LOVE cheesecake! And because of that fact, we are always trying to find new variations of the classic.
I was listening to the Today Show when I was working on the blog and they talked about making cheesecake with 1/3 of the calories and the taste was amazing! I heart skipped a beat because that sounded like heaven to my ears. I set out to make this recipe happen.
I used the Today Show’s recipe as the basis of our recipe and tweaked it a little.
Seriously, this tastes amazing and your family will totally fall in love with it and the best thing, it has fewer calories! Get ready to be amazed!

Gosh, lowfat cheesecake never looked so good! I've never seen the words lowfat beside the word cheesecake before! I love individual pies like that. They are pretty with the strawberries on top too.
These look great! I had never thought of using cottage cheese–genius. Happy to find you through the linkup!
