INGREDIENT NOTES:

NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • Use the non-fat variety of Greek yogurt to provide the creaminess in the filling. It helps to keep the calories low. This blends smoothly with the cream cheese & provides a light, tangy taste in the dessert. Choose the plain version of Greek yogurt so the blueberry and lemon flavors reflect properly.

LIGHT CREAM CHEESE:

  • Light cream cheese adds the real cheesecake flavor without the indulgence of a full-fat variety. Use the soft form so it mixes smoothly. Light version helps to lower the calories but helps to provide a smooth and delicious taste.

LEMON JUICE & ZEST:

  • Use lemon zest & juice to add the citrus flavor to the cheesecake. It adds a bright taste and balances the sweet taste. Use fresh lemon juice and zest to provide the best taste and aroma of lemon.

BLUEBERRIES:

  • Blueberries help to add the natural sweet taste & color to these cups. It is good to utilize the fresh ones to provide the taste; but utilize the frozen ones instead if required.

SWEETENER:

  • Use sugar-free sweeteners like Erythritol or Monk fruit. Use the powder form of these sweeteners. They blend smoothly in the dessert and don’t get crystallized after some time.
