Provided by Trixie735

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 1h

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (5-6 full sheets)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
8 ounces light cream cheese, softened (do not use fat free)
3/4 cup greek light yogurt, vanilla
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar free raspberry jam (or any SF flavor jam)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 and line bottom and sides of an 8x8 pan with aluminum foil, leaving overhang on all sides for easy lift later; set aside.
  • Make the crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a medium bowl until combined. Evenly press crust into prepared baking pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Make the Filling: In a large bowl using handheld or stand mixer with whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese on high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute. On medium high speed, beat in yogurt until completely combined. Then beat in the egg whites until combined. Finally, beat in the sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla until everything is combined and no lumps remain.
  • Pour filling onto the crust. Place spoonfuls of jam on top of cheesecake. Then take a toothpick or skewer and swirl the jam across the top of the cheesecake (some will mix in the cheesecake).
  • Bake for 30 minutes, covering the cheesecake bars at the 25 minute mark to prevent the top from browning. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature set on wire rack for 30 minutes, then transfer to refrigerator to chill for 3-4 hours or over night (I do overnight).
  • Once chilled, lift the foil out of the pan using the overhang and cut into squares. For neat squares, I use a very sharp knife and wipe clean with papertowel after each cut Leftovers keep well in fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Make ahead tip: Prepare the bars 1-3 days in advance and store covered tightly in fridge until ready to serve. Bars can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in fridge before serving.
  • NOTE: If you cut into 12 bars, each bar has 117 calories, 13.4 g carbs (9 g sugar; 1.3 g fiber). If you cut into 16 bars, each bar has 88 calories, 10.1 g carbs (6.7 g sugar, 0.9 g fiber).

BLACK RASPBERRY BARS



Black Raspberry Bars image

Black raspberries are a rare treat. Their flavor is sweeter than raspberries and more intense than blackberries. Black raspberries and black raspberry preserves can be hard to find if you don't live in a region where they're common. These bars also taste divine with apricot jam or fruit preserves of your choice. -Penny Carey, Oxford, Indiana

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh raspberries: Fresh raspberries will give your bars the best flavor. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are set: The bars are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake the bars, or they will become dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help prevent the bars from crumbling.

Conclusion:

These Skinny Raspberry Bars are a delicious and healthy treat that you can enjoy guilt-free. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make. The bars are also a good source of fiber and antioxidants. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these Skinny Raspberry Bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
