Blueberry Cheesecake Bites

8 low-fat Honey Graham Crackers

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray

1 8-oz package fat-free cream cheese

¼ cup Splenda

¼ cup egg whites

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tsp vanilla extract

With oven rack in the center of oven, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners then spray with butter spray.

Place Graham Crackers in food processor and crumble. Mix a small amount of butter with crumbs until slightly moistened. Place a thin layer of crumbs along bottom of muffin liner.

With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the cream cheese, Splenda, egg whites, lemon zest, sweetened condensed milk, flour, and vanilla in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Spoon a level tablespoon of the mixture into each muffin cup. Bake until puffed and set in the center (about 9 minutes). Cool in pans on rack.

Place the jam in a medium bowl in the microwave and heat on high, just until the jam begins to bubble (about 15 seconds). Gently stir in the blueberries until evenly coated with jam. Spoon the berries over the cheesecakes and refrigerate until ready to serve.
