Different ways to change up this recipe:
- If you use fat free cream cheese instead of light cream cheese, it reduces the points to 7 per serving instead of 9 Weight Watchers points.
- You can decorate the cheesecake (once it’s set) with additional fat free Cool Whip and fresh berries.
- Change up the berries or fruit if you prefer. Cherries or blackberries would be nice as well as raspberries. It’s up to you and the fruit you like!
Tips and Tricks for Making Weight Watchers Berry Cheesecake:
- I buy these Ready Made reduced fat graham cracker crusts in the U.S. You can use a regular one- just check to see if it changes the points.
- Store the cheesecake in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
- You can mix the fruit puree in the bowl with the cream cheese mixture before placing it in the pie crust if you prefer. I mixed it in the pie crust as I did not want it to mix too much, which also helped with the color effect.
- It’s best if this cheesecake sits overnight in the fridge to allow the flavors time to meld together.
- Weight Watchers Berry Cheesecake will keep in the fridge for up to seven days. It will also freeze well for up to three months if it’s wrapped properly in saran wrap and a freezer zip loc bag.

Nutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.
could you use a different combination of berries or just use one kind?
Sure, you can use any berries you would like 🙂
I don’t have a food processor – do you think mashing them would have the same affect? Or just chopping them up real small?
I think it would still be ok 🙂
Don’t like cool whip or yogurt is there anything else I could use
I’m sorry, not too sure what to suggest as that is the bulk of the ingredients
Can I use frozen berries?
I think they should work fine 🙂
silly question, do you bake the pie crust first????
It is a pre-made pie crust 🙂
How many ounces is one serving? Thinking of making it in individual cups.
Hi Pam, sorry I did not weigh out the servings, I just cut them into equal pieces
I just made this , using Truvia, fat free cream cheese, fat free cool whip and fresh strawberries and blueberries I froze myself last fall. Put it in a bowl and will top it off with crushed graham crackers at a picnic later today…..it tasted amazing!
It sounds awesome Cindy, thanks for sharing your tips with us 🙂 enjoy the picnic!
Made the pie and it was delicious! I had it refrigerated for two hours and it was not as firm as the picture. Can this be put in the freezer?
Hi Lisa, yes I think so but I don’t think it will stay frozen if that is what you were after
tried it with no crust and monk fruit instead of sugar. Delicious and only 4 pts!
