My daughter and I trimmed down a recipe from a television cooking show, and these bite-size cheesecakes were the result. We shared them with neighbors and friends, and no one suspected they were light. —Lori Lewis of St. Johns, Michigan

My family really enjoyed this low sugar cheesecake. I did use fresh strawberries on top instead of the filling.

My family and friends loved them. Didn't last long.

Instead of putting the pie filling on each cheesecake, you can get the same flavor while cutting some calories & making them look pretty.

Put some seedless jam into the blender or food processor & puree until smooth to make a sauce. Pour the jam into a plastic food bag & twist the top. Cut a tiny bit off one corner & drizzle over the cheesecakes, after removing the cupcake liners.

Everyone looked these and the vanilla wafer at the bottom is a cute surprise. The only thing I'm going to do differently when I make them for Thanksgiving is subsitute real strawberry slices on the top for the pastry filling.
