Ingredients

• 16 ounces fat-free cream cheese
• 1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large egg whites
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 8 sheets fat-free graham crackers
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan or line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a food processor, grind the fat-free graham crackers into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix with the unsweetened applesauce and ground cinnamon until they form a wet, sandy texture.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the fat-free cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 5

Add the fat-free Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and cornstarch, and continue mixing until well combined.

Step 6

On low speed, gradually add the egg whites, one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to prevent air pockets in the batter.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the springform pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Step 9

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 10

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge to loosen it from the pan. Allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 11

Slice the cheesecake, serve, and enjoy a guilt-free dessert!
