Ditch the carbs with no crust cheesecake! All the creamy vanilla goodness you expect from cheesecake minus the excess carbs. Eliminating the carb laden crust and cutting WAY back on the sugar are the keys to getting a cheesecake you can feel good about eating. Pumping up the vanilla and adding a touch of lemon juice rounds out the flavor profile.

How can cheesecake be made diabetes-friendly?

Modifying the crust can help reduce the carbs from cheesecake. Here, I have removed the crust completely. Also, the amount of sugar in the recipe has been greatly reduced. You may also modify this recipe further by using a sugar substitute in place of the sugar. Make sure you are using one that is suitable for baking.

Why this recipe works

  • Ricotta cheese adds a creamy texture.
  • Extra vanilla for enhanced flavor.
  • Reduced sugar for lower carb count.

Ingredients

  • Cream cheese- I used neufchâtel for a slightly lower fat content.
  • Ricotta cheese- adds a creamy texture.
  • Greek yogurt- I used plain regular fat.
  • Sugar or sugar substitute-be sure to choose a sugar sub that can be used for baking.
  • Lemon juice- this addition will enhance the flavor of the cheesecake.

  • Step 3: Pour batter into springform pan.
  • Step 4: Bake until set in the middle. Place in the refrigerator which helps to firm the cheesecake.

      Hi
      The serving size is 1/8th of the cake. The nutrition facts should read 1 slice. Thanks for your question!

    So the flavor of this batter was tasty I also added some lemon zest, but I am having a problem with the cheesecake setting I don’t know what I did wrong???
    I used an 8 inch spring form pan it has been in the oven for an hour and 15 min and the middle is still jiggly 😩

      It will take longer to cook in 8” pan. Placing the cheesecake in the refrigerator will also help it to set up. Hope that helps!
