Fake cheesecake: the diet version that doesn't compromise on flavor

Fake cheesecake: the diet version that doesn't compromise on flavor

Today we present a light recipe for one of the most beloved desserts: mock cheesecake. It requires just a few ingredients found in our diets, and voilà, it's ready in no time and, above all, diet-friendly.

Toasted bread, dry biscuits, yogurt or ricotta, and fresh or dried fruit (10 g per day). The fake cheesecake will be ready after a few hours in the refrigerator, and you can enjoy it without fear of overindulging.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of rusks (even wholemeal) or 15 g of dry biscuits or 18 g of cornflakes
  • yogurt or ricotta
  • sugar or honey
  • fresh or dried fruit

Fake cheesecake, the diet version that doesn't sacrifice flavor. Instructions

Let's take the rusks or the cereal biscuits and use them as the base of the fake cheesecake by crumbling them.

Take a container of the yogurt included in your diet and mix it with the base you just made. Add sugar (or honey or jam, if your diet calls for it).

We take some fresh fruit and decorate our fake cheesecake, then refrigerate it for two hours. After that, we're ready to enjoy!
