Low-Calorie Pecan Cheesecake Pie

Instructions:

Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a food processor, blend the rolled oats until they form a fine flour.
  3. Mix in the sugar substitute and water to form a dough-like consistency.
  4. Firmly press the mixture into the base of a 20cm (8-inch) loose-bottomed springform pan lined with baking paper.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and firm. Let it cool completely.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. In a small bowl, soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free Greek-style yogurt, extra-light soft cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Squeeze out the excess water from the gelatin and place it in a small saucepan over very low heat. Stir until the gelatin has dissolved. Do not boil.
  4. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.

Create the Pecan Topping:

  1. In a small, non-stick pan, toast the chopped pecans over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant.
  2. Add the sugar-free maple syrup, golden sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Stir well and cook for one minute until the mixture thickens slightly.
  3. Remove from the heat and let the topping cool slightly.

Assemble and Chill:

  1. Pour the cooled pecan topping over the cheesecake filling, arranging the nuts evenly.
  2. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until it is completely set.

Serve:

  1. Carefully remove the chilled cheesecake from the springform pan, slice it into 8 equal portions, and enjoy.
