Ever since I can remember when I think of having the most mouth watering and rich dessert I will crave cheesecake. It is definitely my favorite. It is also super high in calories and fat. Well, you know me. If I love to eat it, I will find a way to make it skinny. To satisfy my sweet tooth I will find ways to make my favorite desserts more nutritious. I've tried a few variations and this one works best, well actually, it is my new favorite, full fat or not!!
Like my other recipes, I've substituted the empty calories for healthier ingredients and added protein to assist in muscle-building without sacrificing taste. Win-win!!
