Skinny No-Bake Berry Cheesecake

This is the perfect make-ahead dinner party dessert that will leave your guests thinking you stayed up all night making.

This Skinny, No-Bake Berry Cheesecake is light, fluffy and low(er) fat than a normal cheesecake and takes all of around 15 minutes to make.

What You'll need:

• One large bowl
• Hand mixer
• One medium sized bowl
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup sugar or sugar substitute (I like to use Ideal)
• 1 package of reduced fat cream cheese
• 1 cup of reduced fat whipping cream
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp sugar or sugar substitute
• 1 dash of vanilla extract
• 1 pre-made graham cracker crumb pie crust
• Mixed berries - you can use blueberries, raspberries and strawberries like I did, or branch out and try blackberries or any other fruit that is in season

What You'll Do:

• In your larger bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/4 sugar and fresh lemon juice until fluffy
• In your medium bowl, mix your whipping cream, cinnamon, vanilla and tablespoon of sugar until densely whipped, making firm peaks
• Combine your whipping cream into your cream cheese and beat until combined
• Spoon into your pie shell
• Arrange your chosen fruit on the top however you think beautiful
• Chill for a few hours, cut and serve to adoring guests

This no-bake skinny cheesecake is a crowd pleaser!
