Recipe Review: Skinny Chocolate Cheesecake

I love trying new recipes, and I'm a Pinterest addict, so I've been trying to make an effort to actually COOK what I've pinned.  I figured I'd share some reviews on the blog.  I'll post a pic of my finished product with a link to the recipe.  Enjoy!


We spent Easter Sunday with Tim's family.  It was just the six of us, so I didn't want to make a dessert that was heavy and left a lot of leftovers.  I found a recipe for Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake on skinnytaste.com and thought I'd give that a whirl.  I skipped out on the raspberries though because I forgot to buy them when I went grocery shopping. 



This recipe is SUPER easy to make.  I'd say the hardest part is crushing up the chocolate graham crackers- oh, and not eating too many of those while you're doing it!  The end result was a nice, guilt free cheesecake.  The recipe makes 9 servings.  The portion size is decent, but I'm glad I had family to share them with, otherwise I would have had a 2nd (or 3rd) serving!

I also made some chocolate dipped strawberries because, well, they sounded like a good idea!

  1. So... the readers want to know... how do you manage to make those perfectly squiggly chocolate drizzles on the top!? Or is that a secret? :)

    1. You're hilarious. I use a fancy sandwich bag with the corner clipped off. Fill the baggie up with chocolate, twist and snip the corner off. Easy peasy!
