Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 70 g rich tea biscuits or graham crackers
  • 30 g reduced fat butter melted
  • 10 g stevia*

Filling:

  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 70 g Philadelphia lightest* room temperature
  • 250 g fat-free yogurt room temperature
  • 40 g stevia*
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 14 g (2 tbsp) plain flour

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 180°C (356°F).
  • Start by making the crust. In a medium bowl, mix together the cookie crumbs, melted butter and stevia until combined. The texture should be crumbly.
  • Transfer the crust to an 8-inch cake tin lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes then set aside.
  • Make the cheesecake filling as the crust cools by combining the egg, cream cheese, yogurt, stevia, vanilla extract and lemon juice until smooth and well combined. Sift in the flour and mix again until well combined.
  • Transfer the batter to the cake tin, I prefer straining it in to ensure there are no lumps. Carefully Place the cheesecake in the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before transferring to the fridge to set for 2-3 hours.
  • Once the cheesecake is set, slice and enjoy!

Notes

*Stevia - The stevia I use is a 1:2 ratio of stevia to sugar, this makes it twice as sweet for the same amount in weight. Therefore, if you're using a sweetener that is a 1:1 ratio of sweetener to sugar, use twice the amount stated in this recipe (80g). 
*Philadelphia lightest - This may not be easily available in a lot of countries so sub for regular low fat cream cheese. The calorie difference is around 15 kcal per 100g.
