I don't know about you, but I barely bake in the summer! I am typically a big baker but I don't have air conditioning. So if it's hot, it's really not an option. And if I have to bake in the summer, I make sure it's very early in the morning or on a cooler day.
My kids both have summer birthdays, so I try to make no bake desserts for their birthdays. A couple of years ago, I made this Weight Watchers friendly No Bake Birthday Cake Cheesecake for my daughter's birthday, and it was a hit! If you're looking for more Weight Watchers no bake desserts, see the bottom of this post.
🥘Ingredient Notes
- Chocolate Graham Crackers: These provide the essential "crust" flavor. Since they are becoming harder to find, you can substitute Oreo baking crumbs or regular graham crackers. Don't worry about a perfect crust-just line the bottom of the pan!
- Fat-Free Sour Cream: This is my secret to a rich, velvety texture. While many recipes use Greek yogurt, fat-free sour cream provides a much smoother, less "tangy" mouthfeel that mimics real cheesecake perfectly.
- Frozen Raspberries: I prefer frozen for this recipe because as they sit in the fridge, they release a little juice that creates a spectacular marbled look and infuses the pudding with real fruit flavor.Fat-Free White Chocolate Instant Pudding: Ensure you use Instant pudding. This acts as the stabilizer that turns the sour cream into a thick, sliceable "cheesecake" filling.

🔪Step-by-Step: How to Make Weight Watchers Cheesecake Dessert
How to make WW Cheesecake dessert in 3 steps!
Line the bottom of an 8 X 8 glass dish with chocolate graham crackers/wafers
Mix sour cream, white chocolate pudding and frozen raspberries together and spread over graham crackers/wafers.
Spread mixture evenly over chocolate graham wafers. Set in fridge a few hours.
You can garnish with additional crumbled graham crackers and raspberries, if desired. Add a little light, real whipped cream (spray can) if desired.
Expert Recipe Tips
- The "Marble" Effect: For a beautiful presentation, don't over-mix the raspberries into the pudding. A few gentle folds will create those spectacular pink swirls rather than turning the whole mixture into one solid color.
- Give it Time: While it's tempting to eat this immediately, the "set" happens in the fridge. Letting it chill for at least 3 hours (or overnight) allows the graham crackers to soften just enough to feel like a traditional crust.
- Clean Slicing: Because this is a "faux" cheesecake, it is softer than a baked one. For the cleanest servings, use a large spoon to scoop it into dessert bowls, or use an offset spatula if serving as squares.
- Cracker Hack: If you prefer a crunchier base, you can lightly toast your graham crackers in the toaster for 30 seconds before lining the pan.
📖 Variations & Substitutions
- White Chocolate Pudding: I personally don't like artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes so I use a fat-free white chocolate instant pudding. But honestly, finding white chocolate pudding without artificial sweetener was a challenge. You can use sugar-free and fat-free, if you prefer, and you'll have an easier time finding it. You can also use fat-free snack pack puddings.
- Sour cream: A lot of Weight Watchers cheesecake recipes use Greek yogurt. I love using non-fat Greek (0%) yogurt in many of my WW desserts, but I find using the fat-free sour cream in this Weight Watchers cheesecake makes it richer, smoother, creamier, and a little less 'tangy'. The raspberries already add a tartness to the recipe that perfectly balances the white chocolate, so Greek yogurt would be too tangy. However, if you are in a pinch, you could use Greek yogurt.
- Raspberries: You can use fresh raspberries instead of frozen, if you prefer.
- Chocolate Graham Crackers: these are harder and harder to find! I think they have been discontinued (which is terrible because they are soo good!) You can make your own chocolate graham crackers or use Oreo baking crumbs or regular graham crackers. You could also use Mr. Christie Chocolate Graham wafers but they are a little bit smaller and a tiny bit more points (5 wafers are 6 WW points vs. 5 chocolate graham crackers are WW 5 points)
🥗 What to Serve with Weight Watchers Cheesecake Dessert
If you're serving this as a summer dessert, it pairs well with WW friendly grilled main dishes like these Grilled Greek Chicken Burgers (shown) or my Banh Mi Turkey Hot Dogs
🍽Equipment
I like to use an 8X8 glass pan with an airtight lid (affiliate link) for this Weight Watchers dessert because I can store and transport the dessert in the same pan I make it in. You will also need a large bowl for mixing and a mixing spoon.
🌡️Storage
Store this WW Cheesecake dessert in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. These ingredients do not stand up well to freezing.

This Weight Watchers dessert is WW friendly @ 6 WW points. You can further reduce the points by using a sugar-free pudding mix, if you prefer.
When I make a WW dessert, I test it on my kids, and I don't tell them it's Weight Watchers friendly. Then I sit back and wait for their reaction. They LOVED this WW cheesecake dessert and did not even suspect for a second that it was WW.
They were even surprised when I told them. That's why this is the perfect dessert to share with your non- weight watchers friends and family!
I regularly come across posts on Facebook from fellow WW'ers looking for recipes that their whole family will love or dessert recipes to bring along to gatherings that can be enjoyed by everyone. This is that dessert! So, if you are looking for a WW cheesecake recipe, you'll love this easy faux Weight Watchers cheesecake!
❔Recipe FAQs
Technically, it is a "cheat" or "faux" cheesecake. Because it uses white chocolate pudding and sour cream, it captures the dense, creamy texture and flavor of a cheesecake without the eggs, baking, or high point count!
Yes! This is the perfect make-ahead dessert. You can prepare it up to 24 hours in advance. In fact, it often tastes even better the next day as the flavors have more time to meld.
If you can't find white chocolate, Cheesecake flavor instant pudding is a spectacular alternative that works just as well with the raspberries.

This dessert is such a clever WW hack! I love that it tastes like cheesecake but is so much easier to make. It's perfect for summer when I don't want to turn on the oven. And at only 3 WW points, I can indulge without the guilt.
Carolyn says
Is this 3 points per serving or the entire dessert?
Terri Gilson says
Hi Carolyn,
It's per serving.
Thanks and enjoy!
