What I’m really excited about though is the Splenda No-Calorie Sweetener. Splenda can be used anywhere sugar is used with equal portions, but without all the calories. That is 678 calories less than sugar on a cup to cup basis. Now you can enjoy these Raspberry Marbled Mini Cheesecakes with your spouse (and kids!) without worrying too much about your waistline.
FYI – I may have scoured my county for a mini cheesecake pan solely so I could create this recipe for you guys. It was the only one I could find and was the absolute last one in Williams & Sonoma! I love you that much. You’re welcome. Now go bake these!

Enjoy your favorite cheesecake with less calories thanks to SPLENDA in this Raspberry Marbled Cheesecake
Crust
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Splenda
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup milk
Cheesecake
- 2 pkgs Philadelpia Original Cream Cheese
- 3/4 cup Splenda
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 egg, whipped
- 6 tsp raspberry preserves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Mix butter, Splenda, sugar, and vanilla until well mixed.
- In a small bowl combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
- Slowly add the flour to the butter mixture. Mix well.
- Add milk and combine.
- Separate and roll into 6 balls about 2 inches in diameter.
- Press into the bottom of your mini cheesecake mold. If you don't have a mini cheesecake mold, leave the dough combined as one, and press into a 9inch spring form pan.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- The cookies puff up a bit, so when you take them out of the oven, use the back of a spoon to push them down a bit.
- Let cool.
- Turn oven down to 300 F.
- Meanwhile, mix cream cheese, Splenda, and Lemon Juice.
- Slowly mix in the egg.
- Scoop 1/2 cup cheesecake mix on top of the cookie crusts.
- Whip the raspberry preserves until less jelly like, and more liquid like.
- Add one tsp raspberry preserves to the top of each cheesecake. Swirl around with a toothpick to get a marbled look.
- Bake in your 300 F oven for 40 minutes.
- Let cool, then top with whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

Yum! That looks delicious! Perfect Valentines dessert!
This looks delicious! I wish I could eat Splenda. I get the weirdest reaction – my eye twitches. I love the taste and low calories and am so bummed. I am trying some of their other sweeteners, like the monk fruit. #SITSBlogging
How interesting 🙁 You can still have this, just use regular sugar. I think it's ok to indulge moderately. Just make sure you have someone to help eat the other pieces…because they are addicting
MmMmMm I wish I lived closer because after seeing this I would be stopping by! lol. Thank you for being a good friend and sharing the link, you are too nice to me 🙂
I would have brought you one….because even with Splenda, I don't think I should have eaten them for breakfast and lunch 😉
That looks so good!!!
