Cherry Cheesecake

I love sweets and I love to make them as well. This recipe I found on foodgawker.com. It originally comes from Weight Watchers. Unfortunately, while they are points portioned, it is easy to eat too many. This was a simple recipe and I had everything on hand. Enjoy! I give this an 8 on a 1-10 scale. From here on out I’ll begin rating things.

Recipe: Cherry Cheesecake

Ingredients from Weight Watchers
3/4 cup(s) graham cracker crumbs
2 Tbsp light butter, melted

In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and butter; mix well. Spoon 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture into bottom of each liner and press down gently; refrigerate until ready to use.
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat both types of cream cheese until fluffy. Add lemon juice, egg whites, vanilla extract and sugar; beat until smooth.
Spoon cream cheese mixture evenly into muffin liners; bake until set, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Top each cheesecake with 1 tablespoon cherry pie filling. Yields 1 cheesecake per serving.
