🔪Instructions

The step-by-step instructions are in the recipe card that is at the bottom of the post.

🧾Substitutions

• Fat-free Butterscotch pudding - the points will be the same.

📖Variations

• Crust - I do not use a crust as I like to keep the points low and adding in a graham cracker crust will increase the point count.

🍽 Equipment

I like to use a springform pan because it is the easiest way to get the cheesecake out. However, I have used a regular 9-inch cake pan and a pie pan, and it has work as well.

Whenever I use a pan that isn't a springform pan, I always line it with parchment paper.

🥫Storage

You can store this in the fridge for up to a week. I think it works better when you cover it with a paper towel and then wrap it in plastic wrap. The paper towel helps to keep the moisture off of the cheesecake and the plastic wrap helps to keep it fresh.

You can freeze it, however, wait to put the topping on after you have defrosted it. To freeze it, wrap the cheesecake in a few layers of plastic wrap and then place it into a freezer-safe bag. It will stay good for up to three months. To thaw, place it in the fridge and let it thaw overnight before serving.

💭Top tips

Use a hand mixer to mix the pudding and Greek yogurt. This will make it easier to mix and will prevent lumps.

Use a granulated sugar substitute that is powdery. If it isn't granulated, it might not fully dissolve, and this can leave your cheesecake grainy.

Be sure to let the cheesecake chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours before serving. This will allow it to set and will make it easier to slice. I think that it tastes best when it is chilled overnight. It gives it the best texture.

Serve with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of sugar free caramel sauce.

Why is This Called 0 Points? The App Says Something Different

 When I started making the plain original Weight Watchers 0 Point cheesecake, it came in at 0 points on the SmartPoints plan. Then WW came out with the 3 plan system of Purple, Blue and Green. On this plan, it came out to 0 point son Blue and Purple and 3 points per slice on Green. Now with the new plan, PersonalPoints, it is going to depend on what your personal plan is to get the points. My plan didn't change much from Blue, so this is still 0 points on my plan. Your plan might give you something different.

I just found out that I can include the link directly to my recipe builder and you can see how many points this cheesecake is for you. This only works for WW members in the US. If you are outside of the US, you will need to enter it manually.
