Ingredients
  • 5whole graham cracker sheets20 small crackers
  • 2/3cup slivered almonds
  • 2tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 14ounces reduced fat (Neufchatel) cream cheese
  • 1/4cup raw, unfiltered honey
  • 1/4cup natural cane sugar
  • 1cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 egg whites
  • 7-8ounces raspberriesred and/or golden
  • 2tablespoons seedless raspberry preserves or other fruit preserve
Instructions
  1. Position one oven rack in oven middle and one in lowest position. Preheat oven to 350˚. Line bottom and two sides of an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with one sheet of foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on both sides. Repeat with a second sheet of foil, crisscrossing the first, again leaving a 2-inch overhang on sides.
  2. Finely grind graham crackers and almonds in a food processor. Add butter and process until mixture forms moist crumbs. Press mixture into bottom of prepared dish. Chill until ready to use.
  3. Combine cream cheese, honey, and sugar in a large food processor and process until smooth and creamy (or beat with an electric mixer). Beat in yogurt. Beat in eggs and egg whites one at a time, until well blended. Pour batter over crust.
  4. Place an ovenproof bowl of warm water on lower oven rack. Place cheesecake on middle rack and bake, undisturbed, until set in center, 45–55 minutes, being careful not to brown top. (Cheesecake will still jiggle in the middle but will set as it cools.) Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  5. Using foil overhangs, carefully remove cheesecake from pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 2×2-inch squares, being careful not to cut through foil. Carefully lift each square away from foil and transfer to a serving platter.
  6. In a small saucepan, warm preserves and 1 tablespoon water over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and bubbly. (Or warm in microwave on lowest setting.) Arrange 3–5 berries on each square. With a pastry brush, brush berries with glaze. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until cold.
