CONS

People with lactose intolerance or sensitivity to peanuts should avoid this recipe.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Cheesecakes are not exactly health food, but they can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. RITZ crackers are made with whole grain flour, which contains fiber and nutrients. Peanut butter is a good source of protein and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. The cheesecake filling contains Neufchatel cheese, which is lower in fat and calories than regular cream cheese. It also contains sour cream, which provides a tangy flavor and boosts the calcium content.
