cheese cake mix with sugar free jello and Greek yogurt

Creating a cheesecake with sugar-free Jello and Greek yogurt can result in a lighter and healthier version of the classic dessert. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you through making a delicious sugar-free Jello cheesecake with Greek yogurt:

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs (you can use sugar-free graham crackers for a fully sugar-free option)
• 1/4 cup melted butter

For the Filling:

• 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened (you can use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter version)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 (0.3 oz) package sugar-free Jello (choose your favorite flavor)
• 1/4 cup hot water
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Sweetener of choice, to taste (optional, depending on personal preference)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to help press the crust evenly. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.
3. Prepare the Jello: Dissolve the sugar-free Jello in the hot water, stirring until completely dissolved. Add the cold water and stir until combined. Set aside and let it cool to room temperature.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using), and mix until well combined and smooth.
5. Incorporate the Jello: Gradually pour the cooled sugar-free Jello mixture into the cream cheese mixture, beating continuously until fully incorporated and smooth.
6. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
7. Chill the Cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
8. Serve: Once the cheesecake is set, carefully remove it from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled. You can optionally garnish with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
