Ingredients
Crust:
- 66 g (6 cookies) Oreo cookie crumbs
- 15 g reduced fat butter melted
Filling:
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 100 g Philadelphia lightest* room temperature
- 100 g fat-free yogurt room temperature
- 30 g stevia*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 7 g plain/all-purpose flour
- 44 g (4 cookies) Oreo cookie crumbs
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Line an 8x8 inch square cake tin with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, make the cheesecake base by mixing together the crushed Oreo cookies and the melted butter until well combined. Transfer the cookie crumbs to the square cake tin and spread to create an even layer. Bake the base for 10 minutes then set aside to cool while you make the filling.
- In a separate bowl, make the cheesecake filling by whisking together the egg, cream cheese, yogurt, vanilla, and stevia until smooth and well combined.
- Sift in the flour and whisk to combine. Fold in the crushed Oreo's until well combined. Pour the filling over the baked base and bake for 25-35 minutes.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before transferring to the fridge to cool completely for at least 3 hours, overnight is preferred.
- Cut the cheesecake into 9 bars, serve 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 (60g).
*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.
