Yummy Baked Strawberry Cheesecake - a simple cheesecake recipe topped with deliciously sweet fresh strawberries
Slimming World Friendly 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 in the kitchen.
I totally 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? It means I am regularly testing out new ideas for recipes and the ones that work and pass the family taste test of course end up right here on Slimming Eats.
Strawberry Cheesecake
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?

That looks amazing! I'll have to try it sometime soon, instead of the normal cheesecake I make.
britmumincanada says
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 🙂
Sara Hutchings says
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
admin says
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.
Sara Hutchings says
ok will have to figure that one out, digestives and digestive lights are exactly the same syns!! Terrible!
admin says
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.
Laura says
What low fat spread do people use? I have tried baking with Flora extra light and its terrible?
admin says
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.
Bobbles says
Are Graham Crackers anything like Ritz Crackers?
admin says
graham crackers are kind of like a lighter digestive biscuit, you can use any biscuit really of similar calories.

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 🙂
