Ingredients
Crust
- 2 Cups Low Fat Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 6 Tbsp. Butter, melted
- 3 Tbsp. Sugar
Filling
- 4 Pkg. (8 oz. each) Philadelphia 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese (Neufchatel), softened
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed
Topping
- 3 Cups Fresh Berries (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and chopped strawberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the low fat graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a springform pan or 9×13 inch dish to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling to allow it to set.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue to beat until fully incorporated and smooth, scraping the sides as needed. Fold in the thawed Cool Whip gently using a spatula until combined and fluffy.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to firm up.
- Add berry topping and serve: Just before serving, evenly spread the fresh berries over the top of the cheesecake. Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest filling.
- Fresh berries can be substituted with frozen, but fresh provides the best texture and flavor.
- For a richer keto version, consider using full-fat cream cheese and reducing sugar substitutes.
- This cheesecake is best served within 2 days for optimal freshness.
