1.    Skinny Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

Pumpkin flavors don’t need to just be around the Fall holidays, but when you make these pumpkin cheesecake bars for a gathering, you’re going to be the most popular person there regardless of the season. These delicious cheesecake bars are mouth-watering. When you are looking for healthy cheesecake recipes to try, this should definitely be on your list.

Servings: 16 Bars

Ingredients:

Filling:

• 1 (8oz) block cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup (240g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 3/4 cup (183g) pumpkin purée
• 3/4 tsp. vanilla crème stevia
• 1 large egg white, room temperature
• 1 tsp. cornstarch
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Crust:

• 2 1/2 cups (75g) brown rice cereal
• 2 Tbsp. (26g) Truvia
• 1 Tbsp. (14g) unsalted butter, melted
• 5 Tbsp. (75mL) nonfat milk, room temperature

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F.
2. Spray non-stick cooking spray on an 8×8 baking pan.
3. Take the brown rice cereal and dump it into a powerful blender or a food processor and turn it on to create fine crumbs. Dump the cereal crumbs you made into a large bowl and mix in your Truvia. Then, mix in your milk and butter until all contents are mixed thoroughly.
4. Pour your crust mixture into the 8×8 baking pan and press it down into place to help it set and mold to the bottom.
5. Put your baking pan in the oven for 18-21 minutes. Make sure that the crust is dry when you pull it out, and then allow it to cool.
6. Next, take your Greek yogurt and cream cheese and mix them together in a large bowl. Make sure the mixture is smooth and not lumpy. Then, mix in your stevia and the pumpkin purée. Next, mix in your egg white. Follow that up with the cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, ginger, and vanilla extract.
7. Pour the mixture on top of the crust and spread it out, so it evenly coats the crust. Put the baking pan in the oven for 18-22 minutes. Pull out when the center of your cheesecake moves slightly when you gently shake the baking pan.
8. Allow the cheesecake to cool, and then wrap it in plastic wrap. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for three hours to allow it to fully set before you decide to slice and enjoy/serve.
