• 1/2 cup granulated sugar 
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract6 oz. 
• (about 3/4 cup) fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt (like the kind by Chobani), room temperature 
•  3 large egg whites or 1/2 cup liquid egg whites, room temperature 
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice, room temperature 
• 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour 
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 

Ingredients for the Topping: 

• 2 cups frozen unsweetened blueberries 
• 2 tbsp. granulated sugar 
• 1 tbsp. cornstarch 
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 
• Dash salt 
• 
  

Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" spring form cake pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
To make the cheesecake, first set out all measured ingredients. Combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. With an electric mixer set to medium speed, beat until smooth, 1 - 2 minutes. While continuing to beat the mixture, gradually add yogurt, egg whites, lemon juice, flour, and cinnamon. Beat until thoroughly mixed, about 2 minutes. Evenly pour cheesecake mixture into the pan. Bake in the oven until firm, 40 - 45 minutes. Set cheesecake aside and allow to cool completely in the pan. 
Meanwhile, to make the topping, bring a medium-sized pot to medium-high heat on the stove. Add all topping ingredients. Add 1/2 cup cold water and mix well. Bring mixture to a boil, and then reduce heat to low. Stirring occasionally, simmer until mixture is thick and gooey, 2 - 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. 
Once the cheesecake and topping have completely cooled, evenly pour blueberry topping over the cheesecake in the pan. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until fully chilled. Once ready to serve (see HG Tip!), release and remove the spring form. Cut into 8 slices and dig in!MAKES 8 SERVINGSServing Size: 1 slice (1/8th of cake)

***Be sure that the cream cheese, yogurt, egg whites, and lemon juice are at room temperature. This will help to prevent cracks in your cheesecake. 
***Tip! The topping may run down the edges of the cake once the springform is removed. To catch all of that deliciousness, place the pan on a larger plate before removing the springform.
