🍰 Weight Watchers “0–2 Point” Cheesecake (Crustless)
This lighter take on classic cheesecake keeps the creamy texture you love while cutting way back on points. By swapping in protein-rich Greek yogurt and using reduced-fat cream cheese, you get a smooth, tangy dessert that feels indulgent without actually being heavy.
Important note: truly “0-point cheesecake” is a bit of a myth—this version is very low in points while still tasting like real cheesecake.
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 2 cups nonfat Greek yogurt (plain)
- 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup granulated sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol blend)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, helps firmness)
- Optional: lemon zest for brightness
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep
- Preheat oven to 325°F / 160°C
- Lightly grease or line a small springform pan (6–7 inch works best)
2. Make the batter
- Beat cream cheese until completely smooth (no lumps)
- Add Greek yogurt and mix until creamy
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently
- Stir in sweetener, vanilla, and cornstarch
- Mix until silky (don’t overmix—keeps texture smooth)
3. Bake
- Pour batter into prepared pan
- Bake for 35–45 minutes
- Center should be slightly jiggly, not liquid
4. Cool properly (this is key!)
- Let cool at room temperature for 30–60 minutes
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best)
5. Serve
- Slice and serve chilled
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, or a light dusting of cinnamon
🍽️ Serving Ideas
- 🍓 With strawberries or blueberries

💡 Pro Tips
- Room temperature ingredients = smoother batter
- Don’t overbake—this prevents cracking and dryness
- Chill time improves flavor and texture dramatically
- Use a water bath if you want ultra-smooth, bakery-style results
⚖️ Points Guide (Approximate)
- Using reduced-fat cream cheese: 1–2 points per slice
- Using fat-free cream cheese: may reduce further
- Using only yogurt (no cream cheese): closest to 0 points, but less rich
❓ Q&A
Q: Can I really make this 0 points?
👉 Only if you remove cream cheese entirely. At that point, it becomes more of a baked yogurt dessert—not traditional cheesecake.
Q: Why did my cheesecake crack?
👉 Usually from overbaking or rapid cooling. It’s still perfectly fine to eat!
Q: Can I make this in the air fryer?
👉 Yes! Cook at 300°F (150°C) for 20–25 minutes in a small pan.
Q: Can I make it ahead?
👉 Absolutely—this dessert is actually better the next day.
Q: How do I store it?
👉 Keep in the fridge up to 4 days, covered.
Q: Can I freeze it?
👉 Yes—slice first, then freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
Q: Can I add flavors?
👉 Definitely! Try:
- Lemon juice + zest
- Cocoa powder for chocolate
- Cinnamon or pumpkin spice
