Oh my is this really a Slimming World Friendly Baked Strawberry Cheesecake I see before my eyes? I hear you say.
Yes it really is a low synned Baked Strawberry Cheesecake.
Before my diet days I used to make the most divine tasting Baked New York Style Cheesecake, with a chocolate swirl. It was pure heaven.
So today I wondered if I could maybe make a really low synned version in some way. So off I went on my little experiment world. I blame the artistic streak in me, incase you didn’t know, my background is art, my degree was in fine art, so I suppose the creative side had to come out in my cooking somehow, right?
and guess what? It WORKED!!!
Okay this Baked Strawberry Cheesecake is not as good as the real thing, don’t make this thinking it is going to compare to an amazingly delicious slice of cheesecake one might find at the ever so famous Cheesecake Factory, but that said, it is pretty darn amazing for the small amount of syns for one slice when you really fancy cheesecake but do not want to blow you daily syns allowance.
Hey if you kept your meals all syn free for the day, you could actually enjoy two slices of this Baked Strawberry Cheesecake, and still be under your daily syn allowance, now how is that for amazingness?
The sweetener I used is one called Sukrin:1 which is a great natural tasting sweetener. I have tried many different types of sweetener in the past trying to find one that is natural and tastes natural and I think this is it. I usually just use some syns on honey or maple syrup, but it’s nice to know I can now use this and reduce the syns even further. Instead of sukrin you can use any sweetener of choice of course. But I can’t recommend sukrin enough, it tastes so good in baked goods and is by far the best tasting natural sweetener I have found.
Sukrin can be ordered on Amazon or from the Sukrin website: Sukrin

NOTE: For those in the USA and Canada there is now also a similar sweetener called Swerve that comes in a white granulated sweetener and an icing sugar, that are natural and like Sukrin, have no aftertaste. Unfortunately they don’t carry a brown sugar version, but the white granulated is on par with Sukrin.

Oh my this is making me drool, defo going to try it at the weekend,
That looks amazing! I’ll have to try it sometime soon, instead of the normal cheesecake I make.
It is not as good as a real piece of calorie filled cheesecake obviously. But is a good low fat substitute, when trying to keep the pounds off 🙂
Hi Brit mum,
What are Graham Crakers and can I get them/equivalent in the UK? How many syns are in one of these crakers maybe I can work it out based on that?
I love the new take on the cheesecake, we have a taster session at group next week and going to make this! xx
prob wont be able to get them in the UK, but use a biscuit of similar calories for weight will be fine. Light digestives maybe.
ok will have to figure that one out, digestives and digestive lights are exactly the same syns!! Terrible!
oh are they, hmmmmm maybe just look for a biscuit that would work well as a cheesecake base that is of similar calories to the graham crackers.
What low fat spread do people use? I have tried baking with Flora extra light and its terrible?
it will be fine for the cheesecake, as it is just to bind the biscuit base together and you only need a very tiny amount.
Are Graham Crackers anything like Ritz Crackers?
graham crackers are kind of like a lighter digestive biscuit, you can use any biscuit really of similar calories.
I have just made the strawberry cheese cake it is lovely!!!! i made it with supermarkets own brand value digestive as they were actualy less calories than branded light digestives, by the way love the blog have told all my friends at slimming world about it x x
just made the cheese cake looks yum can.t wait till it cools down to try it woohoo!!! I have made your lasagne & carbonara and both were delicious… love your blogg its fab and helping me get back on track Thanks Pauline xx
I have never baked anything in my life and i have been with SlimmingWorld a month now + this my first venture into baking, i have 30 minutes, hope its ok, i didn’t know what graham crackers were so i have used digestive caramels, i used 7 biscuits, 4 syns each, i think it was worth it, lets hope its nice when it comes out of the oven 🙂
