    I have been following Weight Watchers since this summer and have lost 20 pounds. I have a few more pounds to lose before I hit my goal weight. I am loving the freedom that the new Weight Watchers Freestyle plan provides me. Over 200 foods are zero points and many of these zero point foods can be combined to make some delicious recipes like this Two Ingredient Dough Calzone. Today I am sharing a recipe for a delicious One Point Cheesecake. Yup, one point per generous slice! It is probably not even that much since the entire cake is 4 points, but I call it 1 point for a slice just to be on the safe side. If you are on any type of Weight Watchers message board, then you have probably been seeing some form of this cheesecake. I have been finding it everywhere, but tracking down the origins is another thing altogether. I have seen a few people mention that it originated with the Instagram account wwpounddropper. It is hard for me to figure out, since it is truly everywhere, but she has some wonderful Weight Watchers friendly recipes, so I would give her a follow.

    This One Point Cheesecake is delicious and creamy and just one point per slice. Only 4 points for the entire cake on the Weight Watchers Freestyle plan. #weightwatchers #freestyle #onepointcheesecake


    One Point Cheesecake

    What makes this cheesecake so good for you points-wise, is the fact that it is made with eggs and fat free Greek yogurt. When combined with Sugar Free Jello Cheesecake pudding mix, you have a tasty treat that comes pretty close to the real thing. You may be wondering if this tastes exactly like normal cheesecake. According to my Weight Watchers app, plain cheesecake has 18 points. This cheesecake has one point per slice and that is rounding up. So it doesn't taste exactly like cheesecake, but it is pretty darn close, and it is creamy and delicious.

    When I make my version of one point cheesecake, I beat 3 eggs with 6 packets of sweetener (stevia) and 1 tablespoon of vanilla in a large bowl. One tablespoon of vanilla is 1 point.

    I then add 3 cups of fat free Greek Yogurt and 1 box of Jello Sugar Free pudding mix in Cheesecake flavor. The entire box of pudding mix is just 3 points. I beat all the ingredients until they are well blended. I find a hand mixer to be perfect for this job since you want all of the ingredients to be well blended and creamy.

    Scoop the cheesecake batter into a greased pan. You can use a spring form pan, pie plate or a 9 inch round cake pan like I did. Spread the batter around, trying to make it as even as possible.

    Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees until firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before moving to the refrigerator to cool for at least 3 hours. I found that it tastes best when cooled overnight.

    I typically get between 6-8 slices of cheesecake from this, depending on how big I make the slices. It adds up to a point a slice either way, since the entire cake is 4 points. You can slice up the cake and serve as is, or personalize it in any way you wish.

    My favorite topping for this one point cheesecake is strawberries. To add a colorful and tasty strawberry topping, simply clean and cut up a pint of strawberries. Add them to a saucepan along with 2 packets of sweetener and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Cook on medium heat until the strawberries start to reduce and a syrup starts to form. You will still have large chunks of strawberries left over. Remove mixture from heat and let cool.

    Take ¼ cup of the strawberry mix and blend in a blender. I used my Magic Bullet and it took less than a minute. Then drizzle over individual slices of cheesecake. This topping adds a lot of flavor, but no additional points.

    You can also add some chunks of strawberries on top of the syrup.

    The fresh strawberries really take this cheesecake up a notch. Try it yourself any time you have a cheesecake craving but want to stay on program.

      One thing that pisses me off on this new plan is how people will do ANYTHING to make a recipe as low or 0 points possible and it still doesn't taste good. I'd rather save up the points for a real slice of cheese cake.

    2. Vicky

      February 12, 2018 at 3:21 pm

      I think this cheesecake tastes very good, but it is not going to taste as good as regular cheesecake. You are right, nothing beats the real thing!

      I could not find sugar free cheesecake jello in the store. Do you think it would taste good if I use sugar free chocolate fudge jello? I’m wondering / hoping it would taste like chocolate cheesecake!

      March 09, 2018 at 6:54 am

      I made this recipe using lemon extract instead of vanilla. It added a little extra flavor to the cheesecake without adding any extra points. I also add a generous squirt of reddi whip for one point 😋

      I tried this last night. I actually only had 2 cups of fat free Greek yogurt on hand, so I tossed that in and crossed my fingers. When I calculated the points (maybe because it was just 2 cups yogurt), it was 1 point per slice if you divide it in 4 (anything less feels too tiny), but I found it didn't taste cheese-cakey enough. It was more like a custard. So I calculated the points if i upped the eggs to four, did all three cups of yogurt, and added another box of the sugar-free, fat-free pudding mix and it would just be two points per slice when divided into four. Next time, I'll try that and check back with my results. 🙂

      Thank you Vicki! I just made this using SF vanilla pudding instead of the cheesecake. I added a half a cup of key lime juice because I absolutely love key lime pie. This is so delicious thank you! One thing though, the instructions for the topping didn't say to add water to the strawberries but I presume that that should be the case. Any recommendations on how much water to add?

      Vicki, I'm going to be trying this recipe this week - other folks in my life have mentioned it to me as well. Our WW coordinator chimed in during the conversation to say that the topping you're laying out isn't zero point, though. Under the Freestyle guidelines apparently whole fruits are zero, but blended fruits are much higher. Has anyone else been told that, or had it debunked? Doesn't change the base recipe, but I'm being told to just roughly cut the strawberries or add other whole fruit because the topping would cost me several points as well and I'd rather not concede those points...

    32. Vicky

      April 20, 2018 at 10:52 am

      I have heard that too, but the amount you per slice is pretty negligible in my opinion. I have made it without any topping and used a sugar free/calorie free chocolate syrup as well and that has been good too.

    33. Vicky

      April 20, 2018 at 10:53 am

      Yes it does.

      Thanks for checking in DeLonda. I actually didn't add any water to the strawberries. They just boiled down as they cooked.

      I just made the cheesecake with SF French Vanilla pudding. I couldn't wait and ate my first piece while it was still warm. Yum. I cooked down some frozen blueberries to top my next serving. I will try more flavors in the future. I prepared it in a 9" glass pie pan and it took about 35 minutes to cook. Yes, while it is not exactly like full fat cheesecake but it is a great "cheesecake like" dessert! My preference is lighter anyway, and after working very hard to take off nearly 50 pounds, this is a really satisfying dessert.

      The real thing will throw me off too much. I add some extras to the 1 pt. recipe like choc syrup and whipped cream. Also sugar free jellies work well. If I'm tempted to overdo it, I'd rather use the lower point items.

      Vicky,
      I have never before "followed" anybody on my computer as I was afraid that I would open myself to unsolicited spam etc. However, you have described two of my favorite WW recipes that I somehow lost....the bread dough and the one point cheesecake. I have looked everywhere for the recipes that I had written down so when I found your website with even MORE recipes like those two I decided to "jump in" with no fear.
      Thank you so much for posting these recipes and I will bookmark this site.
      You are going to help me maintain my 52-pound weight loss (that on my 5 feet frame is a great deal) and my lifetime membership to WW.
      Sincerely,
      Mary Lou

      The sugar-free jello pudding contains aspartame, acesulfame K, artificial colors and preservatives.
      The regular yogurt has no protein, which helps offset the sugar from lactose.

      Let's be honest- I think many people who make this cheesecake will rationalize and eat more than 1 slice because of the low points. IMHO, this is why WW doesn't work for some.

      Perhaps it's better to have a small slice of real cheesecake and just eat it really slowly and joyfully- or better yet, share with someone you love!
