Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Fat-free cream cheese
- 1 cup Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cup Sugar substitute (granular, zero-calorie, like Splenda or Stevia)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9-inch springform pan lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free cream cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the sugar substitute, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch to the bowl. Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated.
Crack the eggs into the mixture one at a time, beating gently after each addition. Be careful not to overmix at this stage.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another 10 minutes, allowing it to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
Slice into 8 equal pieces and serve chilled. Optional: garnish with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped topping (adjust points accordingly). Enjoy!
