🍰 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

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Bake: Pour filling over the crust. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is almost set but slightly jiggly.

5. 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!
