Light Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake

It is not easy to find a healthy/lighter dessert that doesn't taste healthy or light.

But when you do it is bliss...pure bliss.

You mean I don't have to feel an intense wave of guilt and vivid visualization of me literally killing myself at the gym with every bite? Sign me up!

This is one of those desserts. It is creamy and delicious much like your average "full-fatted" (yeah, I make up words) cheesecake but it harbors much less guilt.

Go on, do you're little happy dance. I have one too. No shame, no shame at all.
