Ingredients:
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 1/2 cups nonfat Greek yogurt – Thick and creamy, perfect for the cheesecake texture.
- 1 package (1 oz) sugar-free, fat-free cheesecake-flavored pudding mix – Adds that classic cheesecake flavor.
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped – Provides natural sweetness and freshness.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice – Enhances the berry flavor and adds a slight tang.
Crunch Topping
- 1/2 cup rolled oats – Adds fiber and a nice crunch.
- 1/4 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries – Intensifies the strawberry flavor and provides a crunchy texture.
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free maple syrup – Adds a touch of sweetness without the calories.
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon – Enhances the flavor of the oats.
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Crunch Topping
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, mix the rolled oats, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, sugar-free maple syrup, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the oats are golden and crispy. Be sure to keep an eye on it, as oats can burn quickly. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt and sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix. Whisk until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add the lemon juice to the yogurt mixture and mix until well incorporated.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries gently to distribute them evenly.
Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake
- Spoon the cheesecake filling into individual serving glasses or a small 8-inch springform pan for a single cheesecake.
- Sprinkle the cooled crunch topping evenly over the cheesecake mixture, covering the top completely for a delicious, crunchy layer.
Step 4: Chill Before Serving
- Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
- When ready to serve, garnish with a few extra chopped strawberries, if desired, for added color and freshness.
Tips for a Perfect Zero Point Cheesecake
- Use Very Thick Greek Yogurt: For the best texture, opt for very thick nonfat Greek yogurt, as this will give the cheesecake a creamy, rich feel.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a few drops of liquid stevia or another zero-calorie sweetener to the filling mixture.
- Experiment with Other Berries: Try mixing in other zero-point berries like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a twist.
- Make it in Advance: This cheesecake tastes even better if made the day before, as the flavors have time to blend together. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator until serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Top with Extra Fresh Berries: A handful of fresh strawberries or mixed berries on top adds a beautiful finishing touch.
- Serve with a Dollop of Fat-Free Whipped Topping: For an extra treat, add a dollop of fat-free whipped topping for just a few extra calories and no additional WW points.
- Pair with a Cup of Coffee or Tea: This light cheesecake pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or herbal tea for an enjoyable, guilt-free dessert experience.
