Tamara Falcó’s cheesecake: now sugar-free and lower in fat
Here are the base ingredients for a light cheesecake that keeps sugar in check and lowers fat while preserving creaminess. Banana or apple provides natural sweetness and moisture, while a well-chosen dairy option adds tang and body. The core trio includes a ripe fruit, a whole egg, and a smooth Greek yogurt. Optional cocoa powder offers a deep, chocolatey note for those craving a dessert with a chocolate edge.
If you like, you can fold in two tablespoons of cocoa powder to enhance the flavor and give the dessert a rich finish.
How is it prepared?
With the ingredients ready, blend the fruit, egg, and yogurt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. A stir stick or hand blender makes quick work of this step. The goal is a uniform batter that pours easily and settles into a silky texture when cooked.
Next, spoon the batter into microwave-safe containers. Cook on high power for three minutes. The result is a light, airy dessert with surprising depth of flavor that feels indulgent yet stays light on calories.

Adding toppings nudges calories upward, but the payoff is a vibrant, satisfying palate that still sits comfortably within a daily dessert limit.
