100 Calorie Cheesecake Recipe

January 23, 2011 by Maggie

The other week I made applesauce, remember?

‘Twas delicious.

But what was more delicious was the fake cheese cake I made with it.

100 Calorie Fake Cheesecake

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fat free (organic) ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 packet stevia (or other sweetener)
  • dash of salt
  • cute mini food processor

Directions

  1. Blend everything in mini food processor. Top with more applesauce, if desired.
  2. EAT.
  3. (Repeat.)

Last step optional, but definitely enjoyable.

Okay, okay – it wasn’t as good as these…

Mini-cheesecakes from my coworker/friend who came over the other weekend. Plus oranges. The oranges negate the cheesecake, I am right? I’m right. I know.

***

What’s your favorite kind of cheesecake? You can make this kind with mashed banana instead of applesauce if that’s more your fancy. I’ve done mashed banana cheesecake with great results.

    Looks great, and super cute dish!!!
    It’s been a long time since I had cheesecake (the real kind), but I think my favourite is coffee flavoured….or pumpkin. Yum!

    OHMYGOSH ANY kind of cheese cake works for me but I love it topped with either lemon anything or cherries.

    I die for ColdStone’s Cheesecake icecream and cherry pie filling.

    nomomomomomomom

    have you tried the applesauce in the crockpot yet???

    looks yum maggie! my take: blend in some pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice or maple syrup or extract for pumpkin pie cheesecake!

    and then top with applesauce.

    That sounds perfect, and how cute are mini-blenders?! I will whip mine out just to admire how tiny it is!
    I think my favorite cheesecake is a family recipe that is VERY creamy and totally guilt-inducing but worth it!!!

    Question — what do you mean by “mini blender”? Like a Magic Bullet, or a stick blending thinger?

      @Beth: Dang, should have said “mini food processor” – I’m sure a fullsize one would work as well. (Especially for making bigger batches… :D )
