Mini Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesescakes slather strawberry jelly between layers of peanut butter cheesecake. A creamy no bake version with fewer calories thanks to Swerve Sweetener.
I recently got on a cheesecake kick thanks to my granddaughter. She said, “Gram. Let’s make cheesecakes just for fun!”
So we made a batch of mini, 3-inch no bake strawberry cheesecakes and filled a few homemade chocolate cups too. I hate to think how many calories I ate that weekend!
That got me thinking. I really do a lot of baking. I’m also the taste tester and hate to waster better eat it one here.
So when The Recipe ReDux offered us a zero calorie product to try that tastes, bakes and measures like sugar, I was in!
