So i found this recipe on the internet and changed a few things and came out with some DELICIOUS sweet low cal cheesecake bites !

You need :

8oz fat free cream cheese
1/3 cup splenda
approx 4 tbsp's graham cracker crumbs
a box (approx 40) strawberries
1 teaspoon lemon juice

1. Hollow out the strawberries
2. Mix up cream cheese, splenda and lemon juice in a bowl
3. Add mixture into strawberries, then dip each into graham cracker crumbs
4. Chill for an hour and VOILA !

If my calculations are correct the nutritional content of each strawberry is :

14 calories, 2.1g carbs, <1g fat, <1g sugar

The original recipe called for low-fat cream cheese and sugar, however if you substitute for spenda and fat-free cream cheese they still come out tasting amazing. If you have a big SWEET TOOTH you can also add a few chocolate chips to the mixture which adds about 8 calories per strawberry.

Hope you all enjoy. i sure did, and as did all the people i made them for !

Heh I've never seen the words 'low cal' and 'strawberry cheesecake' together in a sentence before ;). We don't have graham crackers over here but I gather they are similar to digestive biscuits?
 
haha yeah i know.

These things are amazing though !

yes indeed they are like digestive biccies. When i came to America id never heard of graham crackers only digestives. So yes they are the same.

hope you try them. they really are delicious
 
they are good to have after i bbq i find.

Invite some people over, and make a box of strawberries worth of them. When i eat them i normally have about 4 which is enough to satisfy my sweet tooth :) then i let everyone else finish them off !

out of sight out of mind hehe
 
there's a gourmet store in my area that sells cheesecake stuffed strawberries that you can sort of improvise your recipe...

make the cheesecake mixture -which is really just low fat cream cheese, vanilla and splenda...

then get some mega huge strawberries, cut of the green stuff on the top and a dig a little hole in it so you core it well.. then stuff the strawberry with the cheesecake filling...

they also drizzle with dark chocolate - which really doesn't add on that many calories cuz ou aren't using that much..
 
yeah thats basically what i did. minus the vanilla because i thought they tasted cheese-cakey enough.

Drizzling with choc is a nice idea if you want them to look really presentable for a party etc. i may do that next time instead of graham cracker crumbs :)
 
These sound amazing! I will be making them tomorrow and im sure my hubby will appreciate it too ( found him munching a doughnut in the car cos he didnt want me to feell bad for not having one....think he might be feeling a little deprived..lollll)
