How to Make Weight Watchers Strawberry Cheesecake Jars
Step 1: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture
-
Pour 32 oz. of plain non-fat Greek yogurt into a large mixing bowl.
-
Open the cheesecake pudding mix.
-
Gradually sprinkle a little of the pudding mix into the yogurt at a time.
-
Stir well between each addition to avoid lumps.
-
Once all the pudding mix is incorporated, add 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract.
-
Stir until smooth and creamy.
Tip: Mixing slowly ensures the pudding thickens evenly without clumps.
Step 2: Dice the Strawberries
-
Rinse and pat dry 2 lbs. of strawberries.
-
Remove the stems.
-
Dice into small, even pieces.
Optional: Reserve a few slices to decorate the tops of your jars.
Step 3: Layer the Jars
-
Prepare small jars or cups for serving.
-
For each jar:
-
Spoon ⅓ cup of the cheesecake yogurt mixture into the bottom.
-
Add a layer of diced strawberries.
-
Repeat layering until you’ve added 1 cup of yogurt mixture per jar, finishing with strawberries on top.
-
Tip: Clear glass jars make the pretty layers visible.
Step 4: Chill the Jars
-
Place the jars in the refrigerator.
-
Chill for at least 1 hour so the flavors meld and the mixture thickens further.
These jars can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the fridge.
Step 5: Serve
-
Remove jars from the refrigerator.
-
If you like, top each jar with a small dollop of lite whipped topping before serving.
(Note: This may increase the point value per serving.) -
Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice if desired.
