About

My mom is a very health-conscious cook, sometimes to a fault. (Sorry, Mom.) This cheesecake happens to be one of her healthy dishes that’s also a standout in the taste department. I’ll bet no one you serve this to would ever know it’s not a straight-up full-fat cheesecake.

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
¾ cup (60 g) whole-wheat graham cracker crumbs (sometimes I use amaretti cookies as a substitute)
