Description

Delicious mini cheesecake cups made with light ingredients for a guilt-free treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ready-made vanilla pizzelle cookies
  • 1/3 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 8 oz. fat-free cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup fat-free whipped topping
  • 1 tablespoon confetti sprinkles
  • 16 maraschino cherries, patted dry

Instructions

  1. Dampen two paper towels with water and place two pizzelles between them. Microwave for 30-45 seconds until hydrated. Press each pizzelle into a muffin tin cavity to form cups, holding for about 1 minute. Repeat until all are done.
  2. In an electric mixer, beat together Greek yogurt, cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping. Transfer mixture to a piping bag.
  3. Pipe about 3 heaping tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture into each cookie cup. Top with confetti sprinkles and a maraschino cherry.
  4. Enjoy immediately for the best texture.

Notes

For a smoother filling, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature. Use a piping bag for easy filling.
