High-Protein Strawberry Jam Cheesecake with Crumble

Ingredients

• 16 oz strawberries
• 2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener (For the strawberry jam.)
• 0.5 tbsp cornstarch
• lime juice (Juice of 1/2 lime.)
• 3 cups plain fat-free yogurt (The source describes it as “0% free yogurt”; interpreted as 0% fat yogurt.)
• 0.5 cup low-fat whipped topping (Cool Whip; source says more yogurt may be used instead.)
• 0.333 cup monk fruit sweetener (For the cheesecake.)
• 1 tbsp sugar-free instant pudding mix (Jell-O brand; source gives a range of 1–2 tbsp.)
• lime juice (Juice of 1 lime.)
• 1.5 cups Catalina Crunch cereal (Cinnamon or graham cracker flavor; regular graham crackers may be substituted.)
• 1 tbsp low-fat butter

Steps

1. 1

   Make the strawberry jam: put the strawberries, 2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener, and cornstarch in a pan over low heat. Cook until the strawberries soften, then mash them.

2. 2

   Optionally, blend about three-quarters of the jam at the end for a smoother texture.

3. 3

   Mix together the yogurt, whipped topping (or additional yogurt), 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener, sugar-free pudding mix, and juice of 1 lime to make the cheesecake filling.

4. 4

   Crush the cereal, using a blender if desired to make this easier.

5. 5

   Add the low-fat butter to the crushed cereal and mix to make the crumble.

6. 6

   In a deep dish, add three-quarters of the cheesecake filling, followed by three-quarters of the strawberry jam and three-quarters of the crumble.

7. 7

   Swirl the layers together.

8. 8

   Add the remaining cheesecake filling, jam, and crumble, then swirl again.

9. 9

   Rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for best results, then serve.
