Sin-less Strawberry Cheesecake

Who doesn't love strawberry cheesecake?

Well, your waistline probably isn't the biggest fan... BUT with this "skinny" recipe, you can enjoy a classic desert without the guilt.

2lbs strawberries
8oz. 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 full sheets graham crackers, crushed


Directions:
1. Cut the tops off the strawberries and, using a paring knife, hollow out the insides.

2. Combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla together in a bowl, then transfer to a piping or ziploc bag. Snip the corner off the bag and pipe filling into the strawberries, allowing the filling to come a little over the top of the berry.

3. Pour the crushed graham crackers into a shallow dish or bowl. Dip the exposed top of the cheesecake stuffed strawberry into the crumbs.

4. Place into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

We made these Tuesday night and were absolutely in love! Check out the picture above (taken from the batch we made).
