Blueberry Cheesecake Pies

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons honey, divided
  • 1 container (8 ounces) nonfat orange or tangerine yogurt
  • 4 ounces low-fat cream cheese, from an 8-ounce package
  • 3/4 cup nonfat cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
 

 

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons of the honey; transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. With the back of a spoon, press mixture onto bottom and halfway up sides of plate. In a food processor container, place yogurt, cream cheese, cottage cheese and cornstarch. Whirl until smooth, about 1 minute. Add eggs; whirl until blended. Pour about half of the cheese mixture onto the crust. Top with 1/2 cup of the blueberries. Cover with remaining cheese mixture. Bake until firm, about 35 minutes; cool on a wire rack. In a microwaveable dish, microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon honey just until liquefied, about 15 seconds. Add the remaining 1-1/2 cups blueberries; toss to coat. Top pie with berries. Loosely cover pie; refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.
