1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a mixing bowl add eggs, extract, lemon juice, and a sugar substitute.
3. Add yogurt and dry pudding, and mix well using a wire whisk.

Lemon Cheesecake Ingredients
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 large eggs or 3/4 cup liquid egg substitute
- 3 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt ( I recommend using Chobani or Fage)
- 1 small box of instant JELL-O SUGAR-FREE/FAT-FREE LEMON, or vanilla pudding
- 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp zero-point white granulated sugar substitute ( I prefer LAKANTO) I recommend a granulated sugar substitute, if the sugar substitute is not granulated it tends to give a gritty texture to the cheesecake
- 1/4 tsp lemon extract (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl add eggs, extract, lemon juice, and a sugar substitute.
- Add yogurt and dry pudding, and mix well using a wire whisk.
- Pour into a lightly greased non-stick cooking spray pie dish or SPRINGFORM PAN. I use a 9-inch SPRINGFORM PAN.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Let it cool for about 15-20 minutes before covering it with plastic wrap.
- Let it chill overnight in the refrigerator.
NOTES:
- It may look jiggly but once it’s chilled, it will set. Let it cool for about 15-20 min before covering it with plastic wrap and letting it chill overnight in the refrigerator.
- It’s recommended to chill overnight before eating.
- It needs 12 hours for the texture and flavor to completely set in.
- I prefer to mix the ingredients by hand using a hand whisk. That way the yogurt stays nice and thick.
- I recommend using a thick non-fat Greek yogurt such as Chobani or Fage. There is a big difference in how the cheesecake sets when you use a thicker yogurt.
- You can substitute regular instant pudding mix for the sugar-free pudding mix. That substitution would increase the point value by 2 points per serving.

The Cheesecake Flavor Jello Instant Pudding is what I usually use, since I never find Lemon flavor in the grocery stores.
