0 point cheesecake

0 point cheesecake

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups of crushed graham crackers (use a reduced-fat version if possible)
  • 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 2 cups of fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups of fat-free cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar substitute (such as Splenda or Stevia)
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, unsweetened applesauce, and ground cinnamon. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to create the crust. Make sure it’s evenly distributed.
  4. In another bowl, combine the fat-free Greek yogurt, fat-free cream cheese, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in the springform pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquid.
  8. Turn off the oven and crack the oven door open. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about an hour.
  9. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or until it’s completely chilled and set.
  10. Once the cheesecake has set, carefully remove it from the springform pan.
  11. You can optionally top the cheesecake with fresh berries or a sugar-free fruit topping for extra flavor.
  12. Slice and serve your zero-point cheesecake. Enjoy!
