🍓 Ingredients (Makes 6 Jars | 3–5 WW Points Each, Depending on Ingredients Used)
🧁 For the Cheesecake Layer:
8 oz (225g) fat-free cream cheese (softened)
1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2–3 tbsp zero-calorie sweetener (like Stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol), adjust to taste
🍓 For the Strawberry Layer:
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
1–2 tsp sweetener (optional)
🍪 For the Crust Layer:
4 full sheets low-fat graham crackers, crushed (or sugar-free digestive biscuits)
2 tbsp light butter or unsweetened applesauce (for binding)
🫙 Optional Garnish:
A dollop of light whipped cream
Mint leaves
Extra strawberry slices
👩🍳 Instructions: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Compote
In a small saucepan, add the chopped strawberries, lemon juice, and optional sweetener.
Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until strawberries soften and release their juices.
Mash slightly with a fork for a chunky texture or blend for a smooth purée.
Let the compote cool completely before layering.
✅ Tip: You can skip cooking and use fresh strawberries if you prefer a raw fruit layer.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the fat-free cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and sweetener.
Mix well using a hand mixer or whisk until fully combined and fluffy.
✅ Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed. Remember, the strawberries will also add sweetness.
