INGREDIENT NOTES:
GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS:
- It makes the classic cheesecake crust. Graham cracker crumbs pair well with the creamy filling. You may use crushed digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or reduced-fat cookies as per your preference.
LIGHT BUTTER:
- Butter holds the crust together and makes the recipe light. You may use light margarine as an alternative.
REDUCED-FAT CREAM CHEESE:
- It includes a rich cheesecake flavor and creamy texture. Reduced-fat cream cheese provides less fat and fewer calories. You may use Neufchâtel cheese as a substitute.
GRANULATED ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:
- We use it to include sweetness without adding extra calories or WW points. It makes the texture better. Use monk fruit sweetener, erythritol blends, or allulose as per your choice.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Vanilla extract improves the cheesecake taste and gives warmth to every bite. Almond extract is a great alternative to include.
FAT-FREE GREEK YOGURT:
- It provides creaminess and protein to the recipe. Fat-free Greek yogurt makes the dessert lighter. Use plain low-fat yogurt if you are not adding fat-free greek yogurt.
LIGHT WHIPPED TOPPING:
- Whipped topping makes the cheesecake fluffy. It makes the filling light and gives a smooth consistency. Use homemade light whipped cream as another choice.
