Cheesecake might sound like an indulgence, but you can nibble 
these treats without packing on the pounds! Wonton wrappers 
sprinkled with crushed graham cracker create mini-baskets 
for a luscious cheesecake-style filling.

Serves: 4
Serving Size: 2 cheesecakes per serving

Cooking spray
2 Tbsp crushed low-fat graham cracker
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
8 wonton wrappers
2 oz low-fat tub cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
1 Tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate
1 1/2 tsp firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup sliced strawberries
2 tsp honey

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray 8 cups of a 
12-cup mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, stir together the graham cracker and cinnamon.

Place the wonton wrappers in a single layer on a flat surface, such 
as a large cutting board or piece of aluminum foil. Lightly spray 
both sides of the wrappers with cooking spray. Sprinkle with the 
graham cracker mixture. Place a wrapper in each of the sprayed 
muffin cups. Press down gently in the middle of each wrapper so 
it molds to the shape of the cup and the tips point out attractively. 
Fill the remaining 4 muffin cups with water (to keep the pan from 
warping).

Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the pan to 
a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before removing the 
baskets from the pan.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on medium 
speed, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, orange juice concentrate, 
brown sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla for 1 to 2 minutes, or until 
fluffy, scraping the bowl once halfway through. Spoon about 
1 tablespoon mixture into each cooled basket.

In a small bowl, stir together the strawberries and honey. Arrange 
the strawberries on top of each basket.
