Ingredients for your chocolate cheesecake with amaretto
3 Weight Watchers Double Chocolate Muffins (1 box)3 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored granulated gelatin
1 (6-ounce) container Weight Watchers Nonfat Amaretto Cheesecake yogurt
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat or light whipped topping
1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
Directions for your chocolate cheesecake with amaretto
To make the "pie crust," slice each chocolate muffin into thirds. Line a 9-inch pie plate with muffin slices by pressing down gently and evenly until entire bottom of pie plate is completely covered with muffin slices.
Put water in a small microwavable bowl. Sprinkle gelatin on top and let it sit until a sponge is formed, about 2 minutes. Heat in microwave on medium-high power until gelatin melts, about 20 seconds. Stir to ensure gelatin is completely dissolved. If not, continue to microwave 5 seconds at a time until dissolved.
Add yogurt to a medium bowl. Stir in gelatin, then gently fold in whipped topping. Spoon mixture onto chocolate-muffin crust and spread evenly across crust to form pie topping. Arrange strawberries in a single layer across pie topping. Refrigerate your delicious healthy dessert uncovered for 1 hour before slicing and serving.
