The Best Zero Point WW Cheesecake Recipe (Weight Watchers)
Just because you are on a diet does not mean you can’t enjoy a slice of cheesecake. I am going to share with you the best zero point WW cheesecake recipe! This Weight Watchers recipe is super easy to make too!
I made this using a push cheesecake pan, but you could also use a springform pan if you wanted.
Now while this is a delicious recipe, it will not be as sweet as a real cheesecake but it works well when you just have that craving but don’t want to waste a bunch of your Weight Watchers points on dessert recipes.
If you don’t mind spending some of your personal points on a treat and have a super sweet tooth, you can add a little more Splenda(or sugar substitute of choice) to the recipe to sweeten it a little more.
This also works really well with some fresh strawberries or fruit toppings on top of this WW cheesecake recipe as delicious toppings.
Ingredients Needed:
- 2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 eggs
- 1 Box Instant Sugar-Free Cheesecake Pudding Mix (unmade)
- 3 Cups Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 Cup Splenda
How To Make WW Cheesecake Recipe:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix eggs, Splenda, vanilla, and yogurt until fully blended.
Add in dry cheesecake pudding mix a little at a time until well blended. Do not dump it all in at one time or you will end up with a big lump.
Grease a 7-inch push or springform cheesecake pan. I also used a greased piece of parchment paper at the bottom of my pan. If you don’t have either of those pans, you could also use a pie pan or pie dish.
Pour cheesecake batter into greased pan.
Bake in the center of the oven for 40 minutes. Will be just slightly golden and just starting to crack when done. The center will still be slightly jiggly.
Let cool to room temperature. Then cover and store in the fridge until fully chilled before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions About This Weight Watchers Cheesecake Recipe:
Can this WW cheesecake recipe be made in different flavors?
Yes, it can! If you are wanting a different flavor use this as a base recipe and simply swap out the flavor of the pudding mix. Just be sure to use one that is sugar free pudding mix. You could make it in chocolate, pistachio, banana, lemon, butterscotch, and more!
How long does this cheesecake keep?
This cheesecake only lasts a few days in the fridge. It also does not freeze as well as most other cheesecakes.
Can I substitute the greek yogurt with something else?
While nonfat Greek yogurt is the best option for keeping this a zero point cheesecake, it could be replaced. Just try and stick with someone on your ww zero point list.
Other options would be Low-fat or fat-free yogurt or low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese. If you do use cottage cheese, it works best if you blend it first to chop up those curds.
You just want to be sure to avoid cream cheese and sour cream. As those are not zero point foods and will cost you some of your WW personalpoints.
Is this considered a Keto recipe?
While this delicious dessert is a super low carb it is not Keto. Keto is not only low in carbs but it is also high in fats. Whereas Weight Watchers recipes are normally low in fat.
However, if you are not following the Weight Watchers program and are just looking for more low-carb desserts to maybe help control your blood sugar, here are a few others to try.
- Keto Peach Cheesecake Fluff
- Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Fluff
- Orange Keto Cheesecake With Nut Crust
- Keto Lemon Cheesecake Fluff
- How many servings does this cheesecake have?
This is intended to have 8 servings to keep it zero points. That is because even with this being zero points you still have to have portion control.
Why is this not cooked in a water bath?
That is because this delicious weight watchers cheesecake bakes for a shorter time than a normal cheesecake. It is also because you need that extra heat and not steam from the water bath to help cook the bottom and edges as this cheesecake does not have a crust.

Possibly due to the recent program change, this comes out to 1 point per serving.
It’s really delicious. I topped it with sliced fresh strawberries sweetened with Lakanto Monk Fruit with Erithritol sweetener.
I’ve made the chocolate cheesecake recipe and loved it. It lasted me a week, eating one piece every night topped with sugar free cherry pie filling and a dollop of FF Cool Whip. Topping it with the fruit and CW made it 2 points. But it’s amazing and I’m making another flavor today!!
How do you make it the chocolate one do you just use a chocolate pudding instead of the cheesecake pudding?
You don’t state what size pudding box to use
I was thinking the sugar free only came in one size. Either way it is 1 oz.
If you added 1/3 non fat cream cheese what would the WW points be per serving? Just curious.. it’s delicious without cream cheese..
I am not sure, I will have to look that up.
2 questions. Small box of pudding mix or large? Is it really 2 T of vanilla?
Yes it is 2T vanilla. The box of pudding is 1 oz.
I blended 2 cups of cottage cheese added 1 cup of Greek non fat yogurt and half cup of mango and cheesecake pudding mix.. Blended in food processor. So far it is delicious. If I add eggs and bake it, will it it turn out to be cheesecake?
Sounds yummy! I am not sure how the eggs and baking will work as I have not tested it. It will also change the point value of the cheesecake.
Why is the picture on Pinterest of chocolate cheesecake and the recipe is vanilla?
Hi Barb not sure unless it is a Pinterest glitch as I only posted this WW cheesecake recipe. I will look into it and see what I can find out. Thank you for letting me know.
Added some lemon zest and it tasted like a ricotta pie! Super yummy and guilt-free.
Oh! I am going to have to try adding lemon zest, thanks for the idea!
IT WAS SO YUMMY!
Thanks! Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
I have made this once’s a week for four weeks. I count it as 1 point. A small pkg of sugar free fat free pudding. Only 1tablespoon vanilla. I love it my favorite treat and just to easy turns out perfect great with lemon juice added and zest.
My Greek low-fat yogurt says vanilla instead of plain will thus work ok
Yes vanilla will still work.
Has anyone tried using Almond Extract instead of Vanilla? If so, did it have an almond taste?
Texture was alittle runny..was good but more on a custard side..
