How to Make German Cheesecake Fat Free Sugar Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the crust (optional): Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar substitute (like Splenda), and 6 tablespoons melted fat-free butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages fat-free cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups sugar substitute, beating until well combined.
  5. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or your preferred extract).
  7. If desired, fold in ½ cup fresh or frozen berries or ½ cup chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared crust (or directly into an ungreased springform pan if omitting the crust).
  9. Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  10. Bake for 90 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  11. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
  12. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  13. Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Top with your favorite sauce or enjoy as is!
