Baked Oreo Cheesecake - Slimming Eats Recipe That I Swear By!

We all have a sweet tooth every now and again and with slimming world sometimes you deprive yourself because your worried about the syns or whether it's worth the syns!

This cheesecake that I found on www.slimmingeats.com is always in my fridge as a quick fix if I want something sweet, and for only 8 Syns a slice it's well within your daily allowance.


I personally (depending how much of a sweet tooth I have) can get this into 16 slices which makes it only 3 syns a slice!!!!



Baked Oreo Cheesecake
Slimming Eats Recipe
Serves 8
Green – 6 syns per slice
Extra Easy – 6 syns per slice
Original – 6 syns per slice
If you would prefer a bigger slice of this, cutting the cheesecake into 6, while work out as 8 syns a slice.
You could try replacing the sugar with sweetener if you prefer to bring the syns right down, but I can’t guarantee the flavour or quality of the cheesecake to be the same.

Ingredients

• 375g of Quark
• 300g of fat free cottage cheese (blended till smooth)
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup (100g) of sugar (19.5 syns)
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (cornflour) (1.5 syns)
• vanilla pod
• 1 tsp of vanilla essence
• little zest from a fresh lemon
• 11 Oreo cookies (26 syns)

Method
Preheat oven to 180c or 350f (gas mark 4)
Grease a spring form pan.
Chop 10 Oreo’s into quarters and roughly line the bottom of the spring form pan with the Oreo pieces.

Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs.
Scrap the seeds from the vanilla pod and add to a large bowl along with the quark, cottage cheese, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, little zest from a lemon and the cornstarch.

Whisk until all ingredients are well combined

In another bowl whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.

Fold this into the rest of the mixture.

Pour this on top of the Oreo pieces in the springform pan and gently tap the sides, so the mixture is evenly distributed in the pan

Place in the oven and bake for approx 35 mins. When cooked the cheesecake will be slightly golden around the edges. You can gently place a skewer in the centre just to make sure the middle is not too wet still.
Leave the  cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
Once cooled you can then place in the fridge to chill before slicing.
Once ready to serve. Get the remaining Oreo cookie and crush roughly with a knife and sprinkle this on the top.
