  • Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Base

  • 12 reduced-fat vanilla wafers

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (1/3 fat, softened)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt (such as Chobani)
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

Toppings

  • 8 oz strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
  • 8 oz blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the cupcakes.
  2. Prepare Cupcake Liners: Line a 12-cup cupcake tin with liners and place one vanilla wafer at the bottom of each liner to serve as the crust.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese Base: In a large bowl, gently beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Yogurt, Egg Whites, and Flour: Gradually beat in the fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt, egg whites, and all-purpose flour, being careful not to overmix to keep the filling light.
  5. Fill Cupcake Liners: Pour the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each one halfway to allow room for rising during baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are almost set but still slightly jiggly, indicating perfect consistency.
  7. Cool and Chill: Allow the cupcakes to cool to room temperature on a rack, then refrigerate for at least one hour to set completely and enhance flavor.
  8. Add Fresh Fruit Toppings: Just before serving, top each cheesecake cupcake with fresh sliced strawberries and blueberries for a fresh, colorful finish.

Notes

  • Do not overbeat the batter after adding the yogurt and egg whites to maintain a smooth texture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a creamier filling.
  • Chilling the cupcakes before serving helps the cheesecake set firmly and enhances the flavor.
  • For variation, you can substitute the berries with other fresh fruits like raspberries or kiwi.
  • Use cupcake liners to prevent sticking and to make serving easier.
