FAT-FREE CREAM CHEESE:

  • Your dessert will become richer as well as thicker from adding cream cheese. You’ll use fat-free cream cheese as the main ingredient for the filling of your cheesecake jars. Using reduced-fat cream cheese is another idea for you, but the points may rise.

NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:

POWDERED PEANUT BUTTER:
