Zero Point Berrylicious Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake

Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups nonfat Greek yogurt – Thick and creamy, perfect for the cheesecake texture.
  • 1 package (1 oz) sugar-free, fat-free cheesecake-flavored pudding mix – Adds that classic cheesecake flavor.
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped – Provides natural sweetness and freshness.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice – Enhances the berry flavor and adds a slight tang.

Crunch Topping

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats – Adds fiber and a nice crunch.
  • 1/4 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries – Intensifies the strawberry flavor and provides a crunchy texture.
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free maple syrup – Adds a touch of sweetness without the calories.
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon – Enhances the flavor of the oats.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crunch Topping

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix the rolled oats, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, sugar-free maple syrup, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the oats are golden and crispy. Be sure to keep an eye on it, as oats can burn quickly. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt and sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix. Whisk until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add the lemon juice to the yogurt mixture and mix until well incorporated.
  3. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently to distribute them evenly.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

  1. Spoon the cheesecake filling into individual serving glasses or a small 8-inch springform pan for a single cheesecake.
  2. Sprinkle the cooled crunch topping evenly over the cheesecake mixture, covering the top completely for a delicious, crunchy layer.

Step 4: Chill Before Serving

  1. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
  2. When ready to serve, garnish with a few extra chopped strawberries, if desired, for added color and freshness.
