My dad made sure this dessert was on the menu for Father's Day—or else! This makeover version is great. I can't believe so much fat was cut and it still tastes like the original.
Ingredients:
1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size)
1 egg
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
topping:
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup reduced-fat butter, melted
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, egg, oil and applesauce on low speed until combined. Press into a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray.
2. In a another large bowl, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add the butter, eggs, egg whites and vanilla; beat on low until combined. Add the confectioners' sugar; mix well. Pour over crust.
3. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before cutting. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 24 servings.
