Truly Creamy Low-Carb Reduced-Fat Mini Cheesecakes
- 3 (8 ounce) packages reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup Splenda granular
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- nonstick cooking spray, such as Pam
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, combine cream cheese, sweetener, and vanilla.
- Mix until creamy and smooth.
- Add eggs, one at a time, blending until completely incorporated and very smooth.
- Using a 6 yield jumbo muffin tin, spray a very small amount of non-stick cooking spray into each muffin cup, or use paper liners.
- Carefully spoon batter into each cup, making sure they are evenly filled.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cakes just begin to golden on the edges and the top.
- The consistency should be slightly "wiggly" when you remove them from the oven.
- This prevents over-baking, and produces a rich, creamy cheesecake rather than "spongey" cheesecake.
- Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack, and allow to cool for 10-20 minutes before removing.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- I recommend Cool Whip Light, and a few fresh berries as a garnish.
- Enjoy!
- NOTE: preparation time includes allowing the cream cheese to come to room temperature.
