Here’s a more detailed explanation of the recipe and its Weight Watchers points breakdown:

  1. Ingredients: The recipe calls for fat-free Greek yogurt, fat-free cream cheese, whole eggs, egg yolks, monkfruit sweetener, vanilla extract, and sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix. These ingredients are chosen for their low-calorie and low-fat properties, making them suitable for a Weight Watchers-friendly dessert.
  2. Preparation: To prepare the cheesecake filling, you’ll beat together the fat-free Greek yogurt and cream cheese until smooth. Then, you’ll add the whole eggs, egg yolks, monkfruit sweetener, and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well combined. Finally, you’ll incorporate the sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix, which adds flavor and helps thicken the filling.
  3. Baking: Once the filling is prepared, you’ll pour it into a greased 9-inch pie dish and bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 45 minutes. During baking, the edges of the cheesecake will set while the center remains slightly jiggly, indicating that it’s done.
  4. Cooling: After baking, allow the cheesecake to cool completely before slicing. This step is crucial for the texture to set properly and for easier slicing.
  5. Weight Watchers Points Breakdown: The Weight Watchers points are calculated based on the nutritional content of the ingredients used in the recipe. Since the recipe primarily consists of low-fat and low-calorie ingredients such as fat-free yogurt and cream cheese, eggs, and sugar-free pudding mix, the total points for the entire pie are relatively low, totaling 4 points. When divided into 8 servings (1/8 of the pie), each serving is only 0.5 points.
