Low-calorie cheesecake with vanilla

4 servings

60 minutes

Low-calorie vanilla cheesecake is a light and delicate dessert inspired by traditional American cheesecake but adapted for those watching their diet. Instead of a buttery crust, it uses a base made from whole grain crackers with honey, making it healthier. The creamy filling combines cream cheese and low-fat cottage cheese, creating an airy texture with light vanilla notes. This cheesecake has a soft, slightly sweet flavor with a pleasant tang if you add a drop of lemon juice. Thanks to the use of sugar substitute, it remains low-calorie, and baking at low temperature ensures the perfect consistency. It works well as a morning dessert with coffee or as a light treat after dinner.
