INGREDIENT NOTES:

GRAHAM CRACKERS:

  • These are the crackers that you will use for the base of this dessert. For making the crust, you will be crushing these crackers and mixing with melted butter. The crust will become a bit sweeter with their addition. There is an alternative, which is digestive biscuits.

LIGHT BUTTER:

  • For this Weight Watchers dessert, you will use light butter as it is lighter than the normal one. The crust will become a proper base when we add it to the crushed crackers. Another option can be coconut oil spray.

ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:

  • To make the crust sweeter, we add this item, which is not heavy to consume. The substitution option can be monk fruit or stevia.

FAT-FREE CREAM CHEESE:

  • If we use cream cheese in the filling of this cheesecake, it will make it creamier. This is basically the main item to use in this recipe. Fat-free cream cheese helps in easy consumption for Weight Watchers because it is light. Reduced-fat cream cheese is a substitute choice for you, too.

NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • The texture of this dessert will get better when we add Greek yogurt to it. As this recipe is for Weight Watchers, use the one that is fat-free. The cheesecake will get creamier with fat-free Greek yogurt. Fat-free whipped topping can also be an option for your use.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • Adding vanilla extract to any dessert will make it feel fancier as well as richer in taste and smell. Almond extract can also be an idea to consider.

LEMON JUICE:

  • The shape of the cheesecake will become a bit solid with the help of lemon juice. It will also remove any sweet taste in your dessert to maintain its taste. Apple cider vinegar is a common alternative to lemon juice.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

TIPS:
