One of the basic rules of proper nutrition and weight loss is to avoid sweets and baked goods. It is extremely difficult for those with a sweet tooth to maintain a regime with strict restrictions, and they break down without achieving results. To eliminate this situation, you need to periodically treat yourself to delicious desserts.
Today there are many recipes that allow you to prepare sweets at home that do not pose a danger to your figure, PP cheesecake is one of them. It is tasty, healthy and will not turn into extra centimeters on the waist and sides.
Cookie cheesecake crust
The fastest and easiest way to prepare a cheesecake base: take the finished cookies, grind them into crumbs, mix with butter and place on the bottom of the mold.
In the classic version, Graham crackers are used for these purposes; if you can’t get them in the store, you can make them yourself. Or just take another cookie. As an option, anniversary shortbread or any other cookie you like, to your taste.
How to grind cookies into crumbs?
- The fastest and easiest option is to break it into pieces and put it in a blender - it will handle them instantly;
- For those who don’t have one, use a rolling pin; it will be better to put the cookies in a bag before crushing, it will be cleaner - you won’t have to spend extra time on cleaning;
- Or twist it through a meat grinder (in my opinion, this is not a very practical way: it takes a long time to wash the meat grinder...);
- In addition, you can crush it with a masher in a mortar or in a large bowl;
- Well, the most extreme option is a meat hammer.
Next, you need to mix the resulting cookie crumbs with butter - you can take the butter at room temperature, or you can pre-melt it in a water bath or in the microwave. In addition to butter, you can add sugar or powdered sugar (if you have not very sweet cookies).
Lyrical digression: do you know how to cut a finished cheesecake into perfectly even pieces? Use dental floss; if you don't have it, regular floss will do. And if you cut it with a knife, then stock up on a damp kitchen towel: wipe the knife with it after each cut. This way the pieces on top will be perfectly even without any crumbs or clots of cheese.
Pour the prepared mixture for the cheesecake base into the mold, distribute evenly and tamp with a flat-bottomed glass or jar.
The cake can be made “flat”, or with high sides. With the second option, simply increase the specified amount of ingredients in the selected recipe.
As I said above, the cookies for the cheesecake base can be anything. You can even take salty sticks (if you like them).
Or an Oreo sandwich or something else. In this case, you have two options: first remove the filling from it, or leave it.
If you grind cookies into crumbs in a blender, its presence will not hurt you in any way, and moreover, it will probably even improve the taste of the finished cake.
In addition, you can use chocolate-covered cookies, especially when preparing cheesecakes such as Snickers or Ferrero Rocher, etc.
Additionally, add hazelnuts and cocoa and you have the perfect base for cheesecake in your pocket!
In general, don’t be afraid to add various flavors and flavorings to your cookies. Be it lemon zest.
Or even apple juice or puree.
By the way, the cookie base can be made without butter; it can be replaced with milk, some kind of juice, or even just water. True, the finished cake will be softer and “juicier” than with butter, keep this in mind if you like a “dry” crumbly base.
Don't forget about nuts.
Ginger will also come in handy, especially in combination with the same nuts and orange zest.
Or this original version with praline: a caramel chip at the base - this is genius!
For this recipe you will need:
- 100g sugar;
- 50 ml water;
- almond;
- 300g cookies;
- 120g butter.
The preparation process is step by step in the photo and below the cut is a video instruction.
Video instructions for preparing cheesecake base from 2:44 to 5:33:
You can also play with the texture by adding waffles or corn flakes to the cookies.
Or even take oatmeal, an option for those who are watching calories but not on a diet. Please note: they are fried in a dry frying pan - in the end we get almost granola (add nuts and honey and it will be just that).
Well, since I’m talking about granola, I’ll get a little naughty and in the end I’ll give you the idea “without cookies” - the granola recipe itself. This “base” is very convenient to use when preparing portioned cheesecakes.
The preparation process and the necessary ingredients are shown in step-by-step photo instructions and in addition a video recipe.
Curd cheesecake (no baking)
To prepare this most delicate dessert, you will need:
- Water – 50 ml;
- Vanillin (vanilla sugar);

- Oatmeal (you can use the muesli you noticed) – 50 g;
- White of one egg;
- Gelatin – 10 g;
- Cottage cheese (soft) 1.8 percent fat – 250 g.
How to cook:

- For making cheesecake without baking, springform pans without a bottom or clear glass bowls are suitable. Place the mixture of dried apricots and muesli into the molds, then compact it thoroughly.
- After the gelatin swells, place the container with it on the fire and stir constantly until completely dissolved, but under no circumstances let it boil. After dissolving, strain the liquid and cool.
- Using a blender, blend cottage cheese, kefir, honey and vanillin to a paste. Combine the mixture with the cooled gelatin and mix it using a whisk. Beat the egg whites into a strong foam and combine with the cottage cheese. Transfer the resulting soufflé into molds and leave in the cold until hardened (4-5 hours).

The classics use cookies for the base, but that doesn’t mean you can’t experiment!
From nuts
For example, a vegan cheesecake base is made from nuts. And it’s very tasty, I don’t even think there’s anything to argue about.

- Honey or maple syrup fits perfectly into this duo as a sweetener.
The photos below are a few specific recipes that you are sure to enjoy.
From corn flakes
Corn flakes - many of us simply adore them since childhood. And that it is as convenient as cookies. But you shouldn’t grind them into “flour”. It’s better to either crush it slightly or leave it whole.
They can be combined in a duet with melted chocolate: black, milk, white - and a delicious base for cheesecake is ready.
However, additional additives in the form of butter and sugar (if your cereal is not sweet enough) will not spoil it in any way - but this is a matter of everyone’s taste.
In addition, one cannot help but notice the wide selection among ready-made breakfasts. So you can also add crispy balls to corn flakes.
No-bake cheesecake - 5 classic recipes at home
No-bake cheesecake is a delicious, delicate dessert made from cookies and an airy cream cheese filling. This dessert is decorated with fresh berries or fruits. The advantage of this delicacy is that it is easy to prepare without baking, although it will take a lot of time for the jelly to harden.
But at this time you can calmly go about your business. It is because of the simplicity that I have recently often prepared such desserts, changing the filling from fruits and berries. Yes, and the cream can be prepared once with cottage cheese, and the next time with Mascarpone cream cheese, for example. The results are completely different tastes.
Cheesecake is a word in the English language (“cheese” - cheese, “cake” - cake, cookies), but its homeland is not America, as many believe, but Ancient Greece. Back in the 7th century BC.
on the island of Samos, for special occasions, a pie was baked from grated cheese, flour and honey and served chilled. And after the capture of Greece by the Romans, cooks added eggs to the recipe and served this dessert already hot.
So, through the centuries, it has reached our days and has become a favorite delicacy in our kitchen.
You can prepare cheesecake in two ways - without baking in a cold way or by baking it in the oven along with the cheese filling. This dessert can be prepared even at the dacha, as long as you have a refrigerator.
In this article I want to introduce you to no-bake cheesecake recipes. And many people call cheesecake a no-bake cake. In fact, it is so, whether it’s a dessert or a cake, what’s the difference, the main thing is that it’s very tasty.

- vanilla sugar - 1/2 tsp.

The ratio of butter to cookies in a cheesecake should be approximately 1:2
2. Cover the dessert mold with cling film and place the crushed cookies on it, compact it well with a spoon or your hands. Place the mold in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3. Pour gelatin with cold water for 15 minutes to swell.

For example, on my pack they advise pouring in 500 ml of water, I take 400 ml. I heat the water to a boil and dissolve the jelly from the pack. The jelly should cool to room temperature. To speed up the process, I put it in the refrigerator.
10. I cut the strawberries (washed, of course) into thin slices; we will use them to decorate the top of the dessert. We arrange the strawberries beautifully in a circle shape.
11. Pour the cooled jelly on top and put the cake in the refrigerator for 5 hours until the jelly has completely hardened.

Dietary basis for cheesecake
To make a dietary base, you can use three ingredients: oatmeal/flour, chickpeas and, as strange as it sounds, meringue.
Oatmeal (oat cheesecake base)
The oatmeal base for cheesecake, as I mentioned above, can be made either from oatmeal or oatmeal, or you can combine them together. In addition, just like with cookies, you can add different flavorings, even nuts.
Of course, depending on what you supplement them with, you can increase the number of calories. But the very fact of replacing shortbread cookies with oatmeal already reduces the calorie content, and then everyone will decide for themselves which option is right for them.
The first cheesecake crust is made from oatmeal with granola and butter. Those. just replaced the cookies with oatmeal. Butter, just like with cookies, can be added either melted or at room temperature.
Instead of muesli with nuts, you can take pure nuts, and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add orange or lemon zest.
Shredded coconut is also a great addition to an oat cheesecake base.
In addition, instead of butter, you can use vegetable oil (refined - odorless).
Well, who needs a base with a minimum amount of calories, a recipe with dried apricots or prunes is suitable. In principle, such a base does not need to be subjected to heat treatment (some people like it raw), or it can be “baked” in the oven for a short time.
You can use dates instead of dried apricots. And if you really want to, add a little nuts - after all, this is a healthy product.
Or this duet of oatmeal with chocolate pudding.
The oatmeal base can be prepared with the addition of eggs in one form or another (whole egg, pure yolk or white). However, in this case the cake will need to be baked.
Low calorie cheesecake base with whipped egg white and water.
To improve the taste, you can add cocoa, some kind of sweetener and milk, because it doesn’t contain that many calories. In addition, you can take low-calorie milk - anything is better than just water.
Video recipe for making this crust + ricotta cheese filling.
You can also use applesauce to improve the taste.
You can simply grate the apple. Or pre-bake in the oven, and even faster, use puree for baby food. By the way, it’s not only available with apple flavor.
And of course, a banana is a higher-calorie alternative to an apple.
Both banana and apple can be used in a no-bake recipe (without eggs).
From chickpeas
Chickpeas are a rather unconventional substitute for cookies in cheesecake. And in desserts in general. But if you love it, be sure to try it in this form.
To cook chickpeas faster, soak them overnight, then they will cook in about an hour.
Grind the boiled chickpeas until tender in a blender and mix with honey or maple syrup.
Please note: when chopping, you can leave large pieces, or you can puree it to a perfectly smooth texture.
This base can also be prepared without baking (we cooked chickpeas, so you don’t have to bake it).
Same with baking.
You can also add applesauce or banana.
From meringue
Well, the last option is meringue. A very unusual and non-standard base for cheesecake - why not?
Prepare meringues according to your favorite recipe or buy ready-made ones at the store. Just break them into the bottom of the pan and the original cheesecake crust is ready (and most importantly, it is low-calorie). Fill the meringue crumbs with cream cheese and jelly and you will have an amazing cheesecake. I think this is a very cool idea!

Today Diets.ru presents to your attention cheesecake - a famous dessert, an insidious seducer of those with a sweet tooth, a favorite treat for tea or coffee, an integral part of European and American cuisine.
Cheesecake translated into Russian means cheese (curd) cupcake (cake). Therefore, even the most ordinary cottage cheese casserole can to some extent be classified as cheesecakes.
Cheesecakes are mainly made from cream cheeses. For the base, crushed cookies are taken, which crumble easily, mixed with butter, sometimes a biscuit. However, such cheesecakes, despite their amazing delicate taste, are dangerous for those losing weight - too many calories. Cheesecakes with cottage cheese have fewer calories.
Creamy cheesecakes have one more “disadvantage”: cheeses such as Mascarpone or Philadelphia are not cheap. Therefore, sometimes you have to think carefully before preparing such a dessert.
But if you replace such cheeses with regular low-fat spreadable cottage cheese, you can get a very tasty diet cheesecake that is suitable even for those losing weight. And it’s not even difficult to prepare it. Plus, financial costs are minimal!
There are some rules and tricks to making cheesecake.
1. In order for the cheesecake filling to be fluffy and tender, all the ingredients for it must be thoroughly beaten. 2. To ensure that the cheesecake bakes evenly and does not crack, it must be cooked in a water bath. To do this, wrap the cheesecake pan with foil and place it in a larger diameter pan filled with water. 3. After the cheesecake is cooked, do not rush to open the oven door - let it cool in it. Then put it in the refrigerator for several hours, or better yet, overnight. 4. If the top of the cheesecake does crack, decorate it with more fruit, or brush it with sour cream, jam or yogurt.

5. Grind everything together until a liquid homogeneous mass (this is very easy to do with an immersion blender), add 2 tablespoons of starch, mix thoroughly. After this, add the zest to the filling. It is better to add more zest, about 1-1.5 tablespoons, you can also replace it with orange zest. Mix everything again. The filling is ready.
6. Take the mold out of the refrigerator and pour the curd filling into it. Place to bake in an oven preheated to 170 degrees. In this case, be sure to place a tray with water on the lower level of the oven so that the curd layer does not crack. Or cook the cheesecake in a double boiler.

Can cheesecake be low calorie?
The classic recipe includes cream or whey cheese, cottage cheese, heavy cream, and the base is made from shortcrust pastry and crackers. To prepare a diet cheesecake, you need:
- Use cottage cheese as a filling. For those who are busy scrupulously counting every calorie eaten, a low-fat product is suitable. To prevent the dish from becoming dry, mix it with a small amount of curd or cream cheese.
- Replacing sugar with honey, stevia, a sweetener or banana, figs will significantly reduce the energy value of cheesecake. An unusually sweet dessert, but without added sugar, is obtained by adding pumpkin to it. An additional bonus will be the original, colorful appearance of the dish.
- The dietary base for cheesecake is made from oatmeal. You can grind them in a coffee grinder, blender, or use whole ones - then the base will be crispy. A good option for PP dessert is bran. You can experiment with rice, flaxseed, and whole grain flour.
- When preparing the dough, do not use butter or vegetable oil, but natural yogurt, fermented baked milk or kefir.
Cheesecake is a nutritious and delicious dessert that can be prepared on a diet or PP (proper nutrition). The calorie content of a dish made according to special recipes is only 100-150 calories for every 100 g (a regular cake contains from 500 kcal). Cheesecake is also rich in protein, since the filling is based on cottage cheese or low-fat cheese.
Basic rules for low-calorie cheesecake:
- Do not add premium wheat flour. It should be replaced with whole grain.
- The flour can be replaced with whole oatmeal. They should be ground in a convenient way.
- A natural and lower-calorie sugar substitute (honey, stevia or agave syrup) will add sweetness to a dietary dessert.
- To obtain the required consistency of the base and the cheese cream itself, you can use low-fat kefir or yogurt. Choose options without sugar or flavorings.
- You can diversify the taste of the dessert using chopped dried fruits. They are added both to the base of the dessert and to the delicate cream.
- Banana pulp can be substituted for eggs in the recipe. The fruit puree is viscous enough to combine the ingredients into a homogeneous mass.
When using fruits, berries and dried fruits in low-calorie recipes, you can reduce the total amount of sweetener. Natural fructose in the additives will make the dessert quite sweet and pleasant to the taste.
