Picture updated 7/16/17
Every now and then, I'll run across a recipe on the Weight Watcher website that I HAVE to try. This recipe happened to be Jennifer Hudson approved. 😉 You know it's good, if Jennifer Hudson approves of it. It's very rare finding a really good recipe on their daily recipe section. Half the time, I don't even have the ingredients for those recipes to make.
I couldn't believe how fast these little cheesecakes were done. It only took 15 minutes in the oven for them to bake. Regular cheesecake takes almost an hour! From now on, this is how I'm going to make my cheese cakes. If I want it to be a different flavor, I'll just switch up the ingredients.
I made these cheesecakes last night, and the recipe makes a total of twelve. There's only 4 left and Ben hasn't eaten any of them. Oops! Good thing, he doesn't like cheese cake. I had to use oreos for the crust, because we didn't have any graham crackers. The topping is my favorite part. I could eat a can of cherry pie filling by itself!

Do you bake these in a regular muffin pan?
jgisvold says
I know they have a sugar free version at Wal-Mart, not sure about the lighter syrup though. I'm going there this weekend and I will double check for you.

I'm on WW right now and am definitaly going to put these on my "to make" list. They look delish! But I'm curious where to get light pie filling at. I've never seen it before. Any thoughts?
Rebecca says

Really? I didn't think mine were too tart at all. And yes, that is 3 tablespoons.
tammy says
Is that 3 - tablespoons of lemon juice? I made these last night and they were a little to tart.
But other than that they were great.
thanks

The pics make these look so good you'd never guess it was a Weight Watchers recipe! I'm trying these along with the pumpkin cinnamon rolls.
Kate says
