🍰 Weight Watchers 0 Point Cheesecake Recipe

📝 Introduction

Cheesecake has long been one of the world’s most beloved desserts—rich, creamy, and indulgent. But for those who follow a healthy lifestyle or Weight Watchers (WW), traditional cheesecake often feels off-limits due to its high calories and sugar content. Thankfully, with a little creativity, the 0 Point Cheesecake was born! This guilt-free dessert is light, airy, and satisfying, while keeping your WW points at zero per serving. It has become a popular go-to sweet treat for anyone craving cheesecake without derailing their goals.

🥛 Ingredients

(Serves 8–10 slices)

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or flour as thickener)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 packet sugar-free instant pudding mix (cheesecake or vanilla flavor, 1 oz)
  • 3–4 tablespoons sugar substitute (like Stevia, Splenda, or monk fruit, adjust to taste)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for freshness)

🍳 Instructions & Methods

  4. Bake Cheesecake
    • Bake for 30–35 minutes until the edges are firm but the center jiggles slightly.
  5. Cool Down
    • Turn off oven, leave the door slightly open, and let cheesecake cool gradually (to prevent cracks).
  6. Chill Overnight
    • Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours or overnight for best texture.

    • Slice into 8–10 portions and enjoy plain, or with 0-point toppings like fresh berries.

📜 History of 0 Point Cheesecake

The origins of cheesecake date back to Ancient Greece, where it was served to athletes during the first Olympic games. Over centuries, cheesecake evolved across cultures—from Italian ricotta versions to New York-style cream cheese cakes. The Weight Watchers 0 Point Cheesecake was created by dieters and food bloggers within the WW community as a healthier reinterpretation of the classic—keeping the creamy essence but swapping heavy cream and sugar for Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and sugar substitutes. It has since become a staple in WW groups and online communities.

🌱 Benefits

  • 0 SmartPoints (per slice) on most Weight Watchers plans.

🏗 Formation (How the Dish Comes Together)

The cheesecake is formed by blending protein-rich dairy with eggs and pudding mix for stability. The mixture bakes into a soft, custard-like cake that firms up when chilled. Instead of the dense, heavy richness of classic cheesecake, this recipe delivers a light, creamy, and airy bite that still feels indulgent.
