How to Make Our Weight Watchers No-Bake Cheesecake
Step 1: Prepare the crust
Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted light butter, and sweetener in a medium bowl until the crumbs resemble wet sand.
Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch pie dish or springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Make the filling
Using a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and fluffy.
Add the Greek yogurt, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and optional lemon zest.
Continue mixing until silky smooth with no lumps remaining.
Step 3: Stabilize (Optional)
If you’d like clean slices that hold their shape, stir the dissolved gelatin into the filling while mixing.
This step is especially helpful during warmer months.
Step 4: Assemble
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for a beautiful bakery-style finish.
Step 5: Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the cheesecake to fully set.
Step 6: Serve
Slice into eight portions and garnish with fresh berries, lemon zest, or a dollop of light whipped topping before serving.

Tips & FAQs (SEO-Optimized)
Can I make this cheesecake without gelatin?
Yes. The cheesecake will still set after chilling but will be softer and creamier. Gelatin simply creates firmer slices.
Can I use fat-free cream cheese?
Absolutely. Fat-free cream cheese works well, although the texture may be slightly softer than reduced-fat varieties.
What sweetener works best?
Powdered monk fruit sweetener, erythritol, stevia blends, or regular powdered sugar all work beautifully.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes. In fact, this cheesecake tastes even better after chilling overnight, making it perfect for meal prep and entertaining.
How can I make it higher in protein?
Swap part of the Greek yogurt for vanilla protein yogurt or mix in a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder until smooth.
