Weight Watchers Cheesecake 0 Point

Craving something sweet, but want to stay within your Weight Watchers points? We’ve got you covered! This Weight Watchers 0-Point Cheesecake is the perfect guilt-free dessert that doesn’t compromise on taste. Whether you're in the mood for a light treat after dinner or need something to satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing your progress, this cheesecake will become your go-to indulgence.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups Fat-Free Greek Yogurt

• 1 package (8 oz) Fat-Free Cream Cheese

• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

• 3 tbsp Stevia or any zero-calorie sweetener

• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice

• 1 tsp Lemon Zest

• 1 large Egg

• 1 tsp Cornstarch

• Optional: Fresh berries or sugar-free syrup for topping

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.

2. Blend the Cheesecake Filling:
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the fat-free cream cheese and Greek yogurt together until smooth. You can use an electric mixer or whisk by hand. Add in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, stevia (or your preferred sweetener), and cornstarch. Mix until everything is well combined.

3. Add the Egg:
   Beat the egg into the mixture until fully incorporated. The egg helps create that rich, creamy texture you expect from cheesecake.

4. Pour the Batter:
   Pour the cheesecake batter into your prepared springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.

5. Bake:
   Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes. The center should be just set, and the top will have a slight golden color. Don’t worry if it cracks; that’s perfectly normal for this light version of cheesecake.

6. Cool and Chill:
   Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or overnight for the best texture.

7. Serve and Enjoy:
   Once your cheesecake has chilled and set, slice it up and top with fresh berries, a drizzle of sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Serve and enjoy your delicious, 0-point treat!

Why This Recipe Works for Weight Watchers

This cheesecake recipe is a perfect addition to your Weight Watchers journey because it’s made with ingredients that are not only low in points but also packed with protein, making it a satisfying snack. The fat-free cream cheese and Greek yogurt provide that creamy texture you crave, without the extra fat and calories typically found in traditional cheesecake recipes. Plus, by using a zero-calorie sweetener and limiting any added sugars, you can indulge without worrying about your points!

Tips for Customizing Your Cheesecake:

• Flavor Variations: Try adding a splash of almond extract instead of vanilla for a different flavor. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy, spiced version.

• Crust-Free Option: This recipe is delicious without any crust, but if you prefer the traditional cheesecake base, use crushed graham crackers and a bit of melted butter. Keep in mind this will add some points, so you may want to account for that.

• Toppings: To keep the points at zero, stick to fresh fruits or sugar-free toppings. If you need a richer topping, opt for a light whipped cream or a small amount of sugar-free chocolate sauce.
