Blueberry Cheesecake - No Sugar Added
The Queen of Holiday Desserts.
This one is so good, you will be famous for it. People will ask IF YOU ARE BRINGING YOUR CHEESECAKE. Trust me.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1 cup crushed crumbs made from Murray sugar free vanilla wafers or gingersnap cookies
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Three, 8-ounce packages Philadelphia Reduced Fat Cream Cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup Splenda
- 1/4 cup Truvia. (You may use 1 cup Splenda granular instead but cake will be a bit less creamy)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 large eggs
TOPPING:
- 3 cups berries - fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup Splenda
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Place nuts, cookie crumbs butter and cinnamon in a food processor and pulse until the texture of damp sand.
- Press into bottom of an 8 inch springform pan.
- Beat cream cheese with sugar replacers until creamy - add vanilla and lemon juice. Add eggs one at a time, scraping down bowl and beating 30 seconds between additions.
- Pour into crust. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until the center of the cheese cake still jiggles a little when you move the pan a bit. (if there are waves across center of cake when side of pan is tapped or gently moved, it is not cooked)
- Remove from oven, cool to room temperature before placing in refrigerator overnight to chill. Do not worry about cracking as we are covering the cake with fruit topping.
- Make fruit topping. Simmer frozen fruit with Splenda and lemon juice until bubbling and a lovely juice forms. Dissolve cornstarch into 2 tablespoons orange juice or water - pour mixture into simmering fruit and cook, stirring constantly until thick, glossy, and delicious. Cool.
- Spoon on top of slices of cheesecake.
