Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Crust

Start by breaking down the sugar-free cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a blender for this process. Once they are well crushed, take the crumbs and press them firmly into the bottom of serving cups.

This will create a delicious and healthy crust for your cheesecake.

Step 2

Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese and plain yogurt in equal parts, mixing them until smooth. This creamy mixture will serve as the base for your cheesecake filling.

Be sure to blend them thoroughly for the best texture.

Step 3

Assemble the Cheesecake

Now it’s time to layer your dessert: start with a layer of the crushed cookies, then add a generous layer of the ricotta-yogurt mix. Finally, top it off with the sugar-free strawberry jam.

Continue this layering process until you reach the top of the serving cups.

Step 4

Chill and Serve

Cover the assembled cups with a lid or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours to set. This will allow all the flavors to meld beautifully.

Before serving, you can garnish with some gingerbread cookies and cranberries for a festive touch.

With these variations, everyone can join the deliciousness! ❤️
