No-Bake Cheesecake for One (Low-Calorie + Low-Sugar!)
Introduction
Craving cheesecake but don’t want to bake or drown in sugar and calories? This No-Bake Cheesecake for One is a weight-friendly, quick-to-whip-up indulgence—no oven, no water bath, and minimal cleanup! It’s perfect for anyone seeking a single-serving treat that feels special without sabotaging your health goals.
With a creamy, tangy filling nestled atop a gently sweetened crust, this dessert delivers satisfaction in every bite—guilt-free and fast.
Why This No-Bake Cheesecake Stands Out
Unlike traditional cheesecakes, this low-calorie, low-sugar version leverages Greek yogurt and lighter cream cheese for that luscious texture and classic flavor. The small-batch approach ensures portion control and instant gratification. Best of all, “no-bake” means you can have this treat ready in under 15 minutes with just a handful of ingredients.
Building a Simple, Healthy Cheesecake Crust
Start with a quick, nutritious crust. Crush low-sugar graham crackers or high-fiber cookies with the back of a spoon or a mini blender. For perfect crumb consistency, try pulsing the crackers in the Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender, 700-Watt Base, Black QB3001SS. Combine with a touch of coconut oil or light butter substitute. Press this base into the bottom of your serving dish and chill as you make the filling.
Luscious Low-Calorie Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl, blend softened reduced-fat cream cheese with nonfat plain Greek yogurt. Add your favorite low- or no-calorie granulated sweetener, a splash of vanilla, and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness. To achieve a silky, lump-free filling, mix the ingredients thoroughly—using a hand mixer or the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black ensures a perfect, airy texture with little effort.
Assembling and Chilling Your Mini Cheesecake
Pour the filling over the crust and use a silicone spatula to spread it evenly. For best results, let the cheesecake chill for at least 1 hour, firming up the texture and deepening the flavors. If prepping ahead, cover your dish with one of these Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) for ultimate freshness and convenience.
Serving, Topping, and Storing
Once chilled, top with a few in-season berries, a dusting of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of sugar-free fruit sauce for a beautiful finish. For those prepping desk-friendly desserts, the Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl, Khaki Green is the ideal vessel—secure, stackable, and stylish!
This single-serve cheesecake is best enjoyed within 2 days—though it rarely lasts that long.
