0 Point Weight Watchers Cheesecake
I love cheesecake. It was one of the hardest things to give up when we started Weight Watchers. That is when I started looking for Weight Watcher Desserts.
I needed something to help me with my sweet tooth. If I didn’t find something that is sweet to eat and that doesn’t send my points over the cliff, I never would have been able to stay on track.
So far after 2 weeks, I have lost 5lbs and I am so motivated to make more low point recipes that can keep me and others on track.
Is this made with Healthy Ingredients?
The simple answer is mostly. The flavoring for this does come from a sugar-free cheesecake pudding.
I try really hard to stay away from aspartame because it causes me migraines. However, with this dessert, I haven’t had any issues with headaches. And that is the only questionable ingredient.
If you are trying to stay away from sugar substitutes like aspartame, you can also use traditional cheesecake pudding and a sugar substitute that others use like Splenda, Stevia, or something similar that is a “better” choice than some of the older sugar substitutes.
Related: Some of my other favorite WW dessert recipes are Weight Watchers Banana Bread, Healthy Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites and Weight Watchers Donut Hole Recipe. Even many of my other dessert recipes can be made lighter by switching the sugar out of the recipe.
How to Store 0 Point Cheesecake
When you are making this recipe, you might not have any left. I rarely do. However, if you have more self control than I do, you will want to store it in the refrigerator. You can leave it in the pie plate and make sure you cover it well with plastic wrap or you can more it to an airtight container.

How Long Does This o Point Freestyle Cheesecake Last
In my house, it lasts a day. but I think you really want to know how long does it last when stored in the refrigerator. In that case, the answer is it can last 3 to 4 days.
It starts to get watery after day 3 and while it still tastes good and is safe to eat, it doesn’t look all that appetizing. However in my house, that has only happened once and that is because I made 3 at once since we were having company.
Delicious Twist on this 0 Point Cheesecake
If you want to make this dessert with an amazing twist, you can top it with homemade chocolate syrup. This chocolate ganache recipe includes instructions to make a Weight Watchers version that is 1 point per tablespoon.
The recipe makes 32 servings, so if you use a quarter of the recipe on top, it will only add 1 point. You can also add some sugar free caramel sauce on top to make it extra decadent.
Can I Use Regular Yogurt
I have heard mixed reviews on that. I have never used it. Regular yogurt is not as thick and tends to be more runny which does affect the consistency of the cheesecake.
I have had some people tell me they have used it and it came out great while other say it comes out not that great. I have never tried it because I want mine to be 0 points and regular yogurt is not. Only the fat free Greek yogurt is 0 points.
Can It Be Frozen
I don’t think so. The texture is different than a traditional cheesecake because it is softer and not as dense. I don’t personally like the way it freezes. You could try it and see if you like it but as with anything, the freezer does change the texture slightly.
What if I want a Crust on my Weight Watchers Cheesecake
I don’t miss the crust at all. But I know some people do. I have heard amazing things about pairing this with a brownie crust. You can use this 1 point brownie recipe from All She Cooks, (which I have not tried so let me know what you think) and turn it into a crust.
I would press the brownie batter into the pan and then add the cheesecake batter on top before baking. The timing will change when it comes to the baking time so you will want to watch it carefully.
How Many Points is Weight Watchers Cheesecake
Normal cheesecake can be anywhere from 12 points to 19 points. It depends on what brand and if it has fruit toppings. I am not even including the specialty cheesecakes. You know those OH-SO-GOOD ones that are loaded with calories, fat, and sugar.
This cheesecake is often called Weight Watchers 0 Point Cheesecake. It was called that because before Weight Watchers added different plans, it was 0 points.
Now this is still 0 points, when cut into 8 servings, on Blue and Purple. However, because yogurt and eggs are not free on Green, this is 2 points per slice, when cut into 8 slices.
- Blue- 0 points
- Purple– 0 points
- Green– 2 points
With the new personal points plan from WW, your points might be different than mine. In that case, here is the direct link to the recipe in the WW recipe builder app. You can see how many points WW vanilla cheesecake is for you.
This only works for WW members in the US. If you are outside of the US, you will need to enter it manually.

Ingredients for Weight Watchers 0 Point Cheesecake
Get the full list of ingredients, with measurements, and step-by-step instructions at the bottom of the post in the printable recipe card.
- Eggs- I like to make sure my eggs are room temperature but unlike traditional cheesecake, this is not a must.
- Plain Fat-Free Greek Yogurt – You can use regular store bought Greek yogurt or Learn How to Make Greek Yogurt. It is incredibly easy to make and saves a lot of money.
- Instant sugar-free/fat-free cheesecake pudding flavor – You can change this recipe up by changing the flavor of pudding you use, like chocolate, lemon, or pistachio.
- Vanilla– While using imitation vanilla is lower in points, I only use real vanilla. Since you are using a small amount, the small amount of vanilla doesn’t make a difference points wise.
- Sugar substitute– I use Splenda, you can use any sugar-free you like. If you are using a different sugar substitute, make sure to check the ratio, since Splenda is a one to one

Hi
I make these ZERO point cheesecakes all the time – they are life-savers. I make them in mini springform pans (I get 4 out of a recipe). I eat 1 whole cheesecake for a serving. I thought that they were 1 point each?
With the pudding I often take fresh or frozen, no sugar added fruit and melt it down and add to cheesecakes for more flavour, I usually add a cup of the puree’d fruit mixture.
So my real question is – is if I eat 1 whole mini springform pan cheesecake is it still zero points or is it actually 1 point per.
Thanks so much!
Joy
Debi
I think it will depend on how many minis you make. So if you make 8 minis, it is still 0 points per mini. If you make 4 minis it is 1 point per mini. I hope that helps. And the fruit should not add any points as long as it is just fruit and has no extra sugar in it.
Diane
Not waiting overnight
Debi
It is best to wait overnight for the best texture, but I usually have to have a slice right away too.
Linda
I’m not a huge fan of Greek yogurt. Does this have a string taste of the yogurt? Thanks!
Rhonda
No, I didn’t think that it did at all.
Jocelyn
HELP! I have made cheesecakes in the past and tried this recipe today. Refrigerated for 3hrs and tried a slice and it tasted curdled to me. What did I do wrong?
Will sitting overnight help with the texture?
Debi
It is a soft cheesecake but sitting definitely helps.
Linda

How many calories is actually in it? I’m not a part of WW but I’m trying a low calorie diet.
Our Wabi Sabi Life Staff
As far as the actual calories, I do not know. That’s why we do not include an estimate. Since everyone uses different ingredients, you will need to use an app, such as My Fitness Pal and figure out the nutritional information.
Sarah
This was really good! I’m on blue and when I put the recipe in the WW app it said it was 1 pt per serving, total of 8 servings.
Lauren
This cheesecake is surprisingly delicious. When I put all the ingredients into the WW calculator, it came up to 2 points per serving for BLUE. How did you come up with 0 points?
Love this recipe!!! Thank you.
Debi
On the Blue plan, fat free Greek yogurt was 0 points. The pudding was 1 points per 1/4 box, so 4 points for that and 1 point for vanilla. So it is 8 slices, 0 points per slice, or 1 point if cut into 4 slices.
Val
Hi
I was wondering if you could use a different flavour of pudding? Just in case I can’t find the cheesecake flavour?
Debi
Absolutely. I make this with all kinds of flavors, chocolate, lemon, strawberry. All of them add a great flavor.
Dawn Maier
I followed the recipe to a tee, except i used plain fat free yogurt. It tastes great, but didn’t set. Does anyone know why?
Our Wabi Sabi Life Staff
My guess would be since you didn’t use Greek yogurt. Regular yogurt is thinner than the Greek yogurt. You won’t get the same consistency when using regular.
Chris
I’ve tried every sugar substitute under the sun and they all have an aftertaste to me. Does this cheesecake have a strong “fake sugar” taste?
Debi
I never noticed it having a strong taste. I serve it to people who do not use WW and they never noticed it either.
Marsha Green
I’m a bit late to this reply but I have found Purecane granulated sugar to be the closest to sugar I have found and believe me, I have tried them all! No cooling or weird aftertaste!
Joyce
Hi, could unflavored gelatin be added to “firm up” the texture?
Debi
I haven’t tried it. I have found that putting it in the refrigerator overnight firms it up well but it is not as firm as new york style cheesecake.
Sonya Kirkland
I’m on WW currently and fat free Greek yogurt on my app is 3 points per cup and the sugar free fat free pudding is a point per 1/4 pkg, so how is it a zero point dessert?
Debi
Your points might be different on the new plan. Greek yogurt was free on blue and purple and 3 points on green. So your points come in at 8 points for the whole things, cut it into 8 slices and it is 1 point.
Karen
Based on the nutrition you posted, this is 2 points, not 0.
Debi
It depends on your personal plan. On mine, the yogurt is free and so are the eggs. The only things with points is the pudding and it is 4 points for the whole box. So, cutting that into 8 slices, that gives 0 points, or 4 points for the whole cheesecake.
This is also how the blue plan and purple plan was.
Stormcloe
Quick question: is the pudding just added as powder or does it need to be prepared before adding it to the mixture?
Debi
You add it as a powder. It gets mixed in with the yogurt and egg
Ann Kinstler
I cannot find any 0 point cheesecake in weight watchers. Why? I made the cake yesterday for the first time and loved it but want to add it to my foods that I eat. Help.
Debi
You can click the link in the WW paragraph. It is a direct link to the recipe and how you can add it to the daily tracker. However, otherwise, you will need to enter it manually or add the recipe to your foods.
Jeanne
Can this be made with all egg whites? I’m counting fat grams as well as calories!
Thanks
Debi
I would think so although I have not tried it.
Tracy
I accidentally got plain yogurt. Not Greek. Will that affect it at all? Is it going to be runny? I’m baking it longer just in case. Thought maybe that would help?
Our Wabi Sabi Life Staff
How did it turn out?
Carol Everson
Can regular nonfat yogurt be used in place of the greek yogurt? I’m not a fan of the greek yogurt taste
Our Wabi Sabi Life Staff
I have heard mixed reviews on that. I have never used it. Regular yogurt is not as thick and tends to be more runny which does affect the consistency of the cheesecake. I have had some people tell me they have used it and it came out great while other say it comes out not that great. I have never tried it because I want mine to be 0 points and regular yogurt is not. Only the fat free Greek yogurt is 0 points.
christy
Made like recipe except used monkfruit sweetener. I was impressed. Same texture and look as regular cheesecake but not as tasty as regular, of course, but pretty darn good. Satisfies my sweet tooth at night. thanks for the recipe!
Katherine
Hi I’m wondering if I could cut the amount of Greek Yogurt and add the difference in whipped Cottage Cheese?
Debi
I have never tried it.
Debbie Harrington
Can you use egg substitute in place of the eggs, or a. combination of the 2?
Conniw
I made this cheesecake. It’s good but there is no doubt about the yogurt taste. I’ll make it again and try some lemon juice or rind in the mix.
Lisa
Week 2 of WW. Although I’m not a fan of Greek yogurt, I have used it on making other low point desserts, which turned out to be a nice surprise. I’ll definitely try this one today!
Anna Wallner
Love it. Great treat for ZERO POINTS.
Stojef
Just took mine out of the oven. I used a springform pan. The cake is a little flat, about half the height of the pan. Next time I’ll double the recipe. Looking forward to eating this.
