Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar-free cookies crushed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sweetener of choice (I used erythritol)
  • 1/3 cup butter (vegan or standard)
  • 1 cup non-fat cream cheese
  • 2 cups non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup granulated sweetener of choice (I used erythritol)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Springform pan
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Crust - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed sugar-free cookies, 1/2 cup of granulated sweetener, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, then let it cool.
  2. Step 2: Make the Filling - In a large mixing bowl, beat together the non-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add in the 2/3 cup of granulated sweetener, eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Combine & Bake - Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the edges are set but the center slightly jiggles.
  4. Step 4: Cool & Chill - Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
  • Use non-dairy cream cheese and yogurt for a dairy-free option.
  • For a vegan option, replace the eggs with flax eggs.
  • Add lemon zest or cocoa powder for flavor variations.
  • Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
