No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Tarts (Light)

"These are made with cottage cheese and thick, creamy, non-fat yogurt. They only take a few minutes to put together and are sure to impress. The prep time does include the 2 hours chilling but not the time needed to drain the yogurt."

  1. These are so yummy! I had one problem though - I halved the filling recipe and still had enough for 4 mini crusts; actually, if I hadn't filled them to overflowing I probably would have had enough for 5 crusts. I forgot to brown the crusts but it didn't seem to have too much effect. I used regular sugar. Definitely can't tell that they are a light dessert. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. Wow! I can't believe you can mix cottage cheese with a little sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and it tastes like cheesecake! I don't know if my mini crusts were extra small, but even after filling six of them, I still had enough filling for at least six more tarts. So I would recommend either halving the filling or buying more crusts (and preparing more of the strawberry mixture).
     
  3. Thought this was pretty good considering it was light but agree with flower7 comments that there was more filling then needed.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
