🍰 Ingredients
For the Crust:
-
1 cup almond flour
-
2 tbsp light butter or margarine, melted
-
1 tbsp granulated sugar substitute (like Stevia, Monk Fruit, or Swerve)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
For the Filling:
-
16 oz (2 blocks) light cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup granulated sugar substitute
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
👩🍳 Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
-
Make the crust: Mix almond flour, melted butter, sugar substitute, and vanilla until crumbly. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then cool slightly.
-
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, sugar substitute, vanilla, and lemon juice; mix until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, blending on low speed until just combined.
-
Bake: Pour filling over the crust. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is almost set but slightly jiggly.
-
Cool & chill: Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before slicing.
Weight Watchers Estimate:
-
1 slice (1/12 of cheesecake) ≈ 3–4 points (using light cream cheese and sugar-free sweetener).
-
For a lower-carb, lower-point version, skip the crust and bake the filling in muffin tins for mini cheesecakes — just 1–2 points each!
