Time 40m

Yield 36 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsps. light margarine, softened
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. reduced fat cream cheese, softened
1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand® Fat Free Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 large eggs
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsps. Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour
1 cup Smucker's® Sugar Free Seedless Blackberry Jam
or Smucker's® Sugar Free Seedless Strawberry Jam

Steps:

  • HEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 13x9-inch baking pan with no-stick spray.
  • MIX together graham cracker crumbs and margarine with a fork until evenly moistened. Press evenly into bottom of prepared pan.
  • BEAT cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk. Add eggs, lemon juice, vanilla and flour. Mix well. Pour over graham cracker crust.
  • STIR jam until smooth. Drop by small spoonfuls over surface of filling. With a knife, swirl jam gently through filling to create marble effect.
  • BAKE 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set. Cool to room temperature. Chill.

Tips:

  • For a classic cheesecake flavor, use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream. For a tangier flavor, use more sour cream. For a richer flavor, use more cream cheese.
  • Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before starting. This will help them mix together smoothly and prevent lumps.
  • Use a food processor or blender to crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. This will help the crust hold together better.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. This will help prevent the crust from crumbling when you cut the bars.
  • Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. This will help the crust set and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Let the cheesecake bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • For a smoother cheesecake filling, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it onto the crust.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9x13 inch baking pan. Just be sure to line the pan with parchment paper so that you can easily remove the bars after they have baked.
  • For a fun and festive touch, top the cheesecake bars with fresh berries before serving.
