How to make a light cheesecake (and face the diet gently) – Italian Cuisine


If you are tired of staying away from your favorite dessert, the good news is that there is a light cheesecake that is waiting just for you. Here the recipe to prepare it and some advice to enrich it

Since we discovered the cheesecake, we have never abandoned it. Sweet, but not cloying. Tasty, but at the same time fresh: it's love, slice by slice. But what if we are on a diet? The answer is a light variant, which you can no longer do without.

The cheesecake light recipe

Ingredients for 8 people

400 g light spreadable cheese, 100 g thick greek yogurt, 30 g sugar, 150 g reduced-fat wholemeal biscuits, 3 sheets of edible gelatin, a vanilla bean

Method

Line a hinged mold (diam 18 cm) with baking paper and cover the bottom with the biscuits. To prepare a light cheesecake it is best to avoid using butter, then we will proceed with the whole biscuits instead of blending them, mix them with the butter and let the base cool. We cover the remaining holes with broken biscuits, making sure they adhere well to each other. Now add the yogurt to the cheese and add the gelatine that we will have soaked in water and wrung out. We work the mixture well adding the seeds of half a vanilla pod and the sugar. Let the cream settle in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, then pour it into the mold covering the biscuit base, level the surface well and put it back in the fridge for 2 hours.

To complete

This base lends itself to many variations. You can enrich it with fresh fruit or a puree obtained from pureed fruit and a sheet of gelatin soaked and wrung out.

The alternative bases

As you have seen to make a light cheesecake we must avoid the use of the butter that we usually use to tie blended biscuits to the base and prefer something lighter. Yes to wholemeal biscuits therefore, but also to bases that you can prepare before going to work. A clever idea is that of prepare a very thin whole biscuit with a diameter of 17 cm (to be sure that it enters the mold) o replace the classic crunchy base with … nothing! In fact, the real strength of the cheesecake lies in the cream and if we are following a diet that asks us to stay away from excess, we can sacrifice the crunchiness of the base and concentrate on the rest. Maybe adding some crunchy cereal or almond flakes as a final topping!

The portions

If you are few and you are afraid that a light cheesecake for 8 people will turn into a caloric bomb for a single glutton, try to portion it in small glasses. In this way you will not be tempted to give yourself huge slices and you can alternate layers of fruit and cream to make the dessert even lighter.
