Recipe: Passionfruit ginger cheesecake

This is the most gorgeous cheesecake, very filling, easy to make and
low in points. I can't tell you what the point value would be, but on
the Aus/NZ plan, each slice is 3 points.

200g Weight Watchers ginger crunch cookies
2 tbsp reduced fat butter or margarine
250g low-fat cream cheese
400g canned sweetened condensed skim milk
3 tsp gelatine
4 passionfruit
2 egg whites

Lightly coat a 22 cm springform tin with cooking spray. Place the
cookies into a food processor and process until crushed. Add the
butter and process until the mixture is evenly combined.
Pour into the tin and press evenly over the base with the back of a
spoon. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Best the cream cheese and condensed milk together with electric
beaters. Put 2 tablespoons of hot water into a small bowl and sprinkle
with the gelatine. Stand in a slightly larger bowl of hot water. When
the gelatine has softened, whisk with a fork to dissolve.
Add the pulp of the passionfruit and the gelatine to the cream cheese
mixture and beat until combined. With clean beaters, beat the egg
whites until soft peaks form. Carefully fold into the cream cheese
mixture, taking care not to lose volume.
Pour over the cookie base. Refrigerate for 2 hours, until set

Serves 12.

Mmmm, that sounds so good, Erin! I am a cheesecake addict and have been
looking for a good WW friendly recipe that actually tastes like cheesecake.
Gotta try this one. Thanks for posting!

This one really does taste like real cheesecake. I'm a cheesecake
addict too so finding a point friendly recipe that satisfies is a big
deal. It was too good not to share :-)
