<br>BITE IT!
<br>HG's Blueberry Bliss Cheesecake
<br>
<br>For Goodness' Cake!
<br>
<br>Regular cheesecake is tempting. Add a delicious topping of blueberry goo, and it's irresistible! Luckily, thanks to some HG magic, there's no need to resist. Berry nice!
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>Cheesecake
<br>16 oz. fat-free cream cheese, room temperature
<br>1/2 cup granulated sugar
<br>1 tsp. vanilla extract
<br>6 oz. (about 3/4 cup) fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt (like the kind by Chobani), room temperature
<br>3 large egg whites or 1/2 cup liquid egg whites, room temperature
<br>2 tbsp. lemon juice, room temperature
<br>2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
<br>1/4 tsp. cinnamon
<br>
<br>Topping
<br>2 cups frozen unsweetened blueberries
<br>2 tbsp. granulated sugar
<br>1 tbsp. cornstarch
<br>1/4 tsp. cinnamon
<br>Dash salt
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" springform cake pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
<br>
<br>To make the cheesecake, first set out all measured ingredients. Combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. With an electric mixer set to medium speed, beat until smooth, 1 - 2 minutes. While continuing to beat the mixture, gradually add yogurt, egg whites, lemon juice, flour, and cinnamon. Beat until thoroughly mixed, about 2 minutes. Evenly pour cheesecake mixture into the pan.
<br>
<br>Bake in the oven until firm, 40 - 45 minutes. Set cheesecake aside and allow to cool completely in the pan.
<br>
<br>Meanwhile, to make the topping, bring a medium-sized pot to medium-high heat on the stove. Add all topping ingredients. Add 1/2 cup cold water and mix well. Bring mixture to a boil, and then reduce heat to low. Stirring occasionally, simmer until mixture is thick and gooey, 2 - 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
<br>
<br>Once cheesecake and topping have completely cooled, evenly pour blueberry topping over the cheesecake in the pan. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until fully chilled. Once ready to serve (see HG Tip!), release and remove the springform. Cut into 8 slices and dig in!
