Ingredients:
  • 15 reduced-fat chocolate or vanilla wafer cookies, crushed (1/2 cup)
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel) , softened
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3 egg whites or 1/2 cup fat-free cholesterol-free egg product
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups vanilla low-fat yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup fat-free caramel topping

Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. Grease a 9x3-inch springform pan with cooking spray, then evenly spread cookie crumbs over the bottom.
  • In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg whites, and vanilla, then beat for about 2 minutes until smooth. Mix in yogurt and flour on low speed until smooth.
