1 Point Chocolate Cheesecake
Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 box (1 oz) instant sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix (3 points per box)
  • 3 cups fat-free Greek yogurt (4 points for 3 cups)
  • 1/4 cup Splenda (or any other zero-calorie sweetener) (0 points)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for chocolate flavor, 1 point)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
    • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the eggs, Splenda, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Mix until fully blended.
    • Gradually add the dry cheesecake pudding mix, mixing well after each addition to avoid lumps.
    • If you want a chocolate cheesecake, sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Prepare the Pan:
    • Grease a 7-inch springform or push pan with cooking spray. Optionally, line the bottom with a greased piece of parchment paper.
  4. Bake:
    • Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan.
    • Bake in the center of the oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and just starting to crack. The center will still be slightly jiggly.
  5. Cool and Chill:
    • Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature.
    • Cover and refrigerate until fully chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Serve:
    • Slice and enjoy your 1-point cheesecake!
