Today, I'm excited to share one of my favorite Weight Watchers recipes for a delicious One Point Cheesecake. Yes, you read that right - one point per generous slice! Considering the entire cake is only 4 points, it's a treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping you on track.
This cheesecake has quickly become one of my favorite Weight Watchers-friendly snacks. I'm especially excited about the Weight Watchers Freestyle plan, which offers over 200 zero-point foods, allowing for delicious recipes like this Two Ingredient Dough Calzone.

WW Cheesecake
This cheesecake is so good for you, points-wise, because it is made with eggs and fat-free Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese. 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.
Ingredients
- Eggs: Provide structure and richness to the cheesecake.
- Fat-free Greek yogurt: Adds creaminess and boosts the protein content.
- Sugar-free, fat-free cheesecake-flavored instant pudding mix: Offers the classic cheesecake flavor without the added sugars and fats.
- Sweetener (e.g., Stevia or Splenda): Adds sweetness without extra calories.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor of the cheesecake.
- Strawberries: For creating a glaze to top the cake

How To Make One Point Cheesecake
When I make my version of one point cheesecake, I beat 3 eggs with 6 packets of sweetener and 1 tablespoon of vanilla in a large mixing 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 perfect for this job since you want all ingredients to be well-blended and creamy.
Scoop the cheesecake batter into a greased pan. You can use a springform pan, pie plate or pie dish 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.
Depending on how big I make the slices, I typically get between 6-8 slices of cheesecake from this. It adds up to a point a slice since the entire cake is 4 points. You can slice up the cake and serve it as is, or personalize it however 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 have started to reduce and syrup begins to form. You will still have large chunks of strawberries left over. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool.
Take ¼ cup of the strawberry mix and blend it in a blender. Then drizzle the glaze over the 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 take this one point cheesecake recipe up a notch. Try it yourself whenever you have a cheesecake craving and are looking for a great dessert but want to stay on the program.
Tips For Making One Point Cheesecake
Tip 1: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation from forming on the surface.
Tip 2: This WW Cheesecake recipe tastes best when chilled overnight.
Tip 3: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to get a smoother batter.
FAQs For Weight Watchers Cheesecake Recipe
Store this in the refrigerator with the pan wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 4 days.
Sure! Any berry or berry compote will work well as a topping for this Weight Watchers cheesecake recipe.
Stevia is my favorite, but you can use any sugar substitute, such as Splenda or monk fruit sweetener. I would recommend you use packets, as that is the measurement I used when making this cheesecake.
Recipes Made With Yogurt
Yogurt is a versatile ingredient that adds creaminess, tang, and a boost of protein to various dishes. Whether you're looking for breakfast ideas, snacks, or desserts, recipes made with yogurt are a great way to keep meals lighter without sacrificing flavor.

I just made this.. thanks so much for your recipe!! LOVED IT!!! ")
Vicky says
So happy to hear you liked it Selena.
Cindy Mcleod says
I am definitely going to try this cheesecake. I love the sugar free pudding. Thank you for recipe.
Vicky says
Thanks Cindy!
April Walsh says
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. 🙂
Vicky says
Thanks for sharing your experience. It is good to know how it works with different tweaks.
April Walsh says
I did the 2-point version and, I have to say, it was waaaaay tastier and worth the extra point. It just felt more like a treat.
Vicky says
Glad you liked it April!
gale says
can I use egg beaters instead of regular eggs and can I use sweet and low instead of stevia
Vicky says
I think both would work fine.
Linda says
No, Eggbeaters won't work as well as eggs because Eggbeaters has onion powder in it so it would make the flavors weird.
Carla says
Thanks for this recipe, I love it! I have a slice a day. It feels like a splurge, not a compromise.
Vicky says
Thanks so much Carla!
Debby says
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 😋
Vicky says
That is worth the extra point in my book Debby!
Kelly says
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!
Carla says
Did you try the chocolate? If so, how was it.
Vicky says
I haven't yet, but it is on my list!
Deb says
I couldn't find it either...another we said she used vanilla with a bit of almond extract so i bought that..haven't tried it yet.
Lori says
You can find it in King Kullen or on amazon
Vicky says
I think that would be yummy. Please let me know if you try it.
Laurie says
You are amazing Vicky. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make these delicious recipes. I am a foodie. So every bit helps. When i am eating your pizza ,bagels chili recipes I know i am getting quality food and portions ,which help me make better choices. Cause in the end Thin has never tasted so good .Bravo my compliments to the chef.
Vicky says
Laurie, thank you so much for the kind words. Really. Sometimes on the internet it is so easy for people to hide behind a screen and leave rude comments, but to have someone take the time to lift other people up is always appreciated.
New to WW says
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...
Vicky says
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.
Tina says
i’d. just slice up the strawberries and sprinkle with sweetener ( splenda) ripe sliced strawberries will make their own “juice” and can be spooned over.
Margaret Reilly says
Excellent recepies and really enjoy making them and the plus is you still loose weight. Well Done!!
Vicky says
Thank you Margaret!
Jennifer Smith says
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.
Vicky says
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!
Angel says
Totally agree
karen s brown says
i love this recipe...i make mine a little different...it has 7pt for entire thing....i use 2pk of jello pudding....so much bettter flavor...i have a question....can reg plain yogurt be substituted for the greek...i know its still 0pts but will it cook the same?
Surfdancer says
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!
Anne Jones says
Hey, creating these low point recipes is a challenge and I totally appreciate the works of these creative chefs..I appreciate these recipes ..have you ever taught what you are eating when you snarf down real cheesecake 😜
WW Works says
Then do it. I appreciate the trial of low point recipes. Some I keep and some I don't. It is all about options.
Bev says
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.
