Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a food processor, blend the rolled oats until they form a fine flour.
- Mix in the sugar substitute and water to form a dough-like consistency.
- Firmly press the mixture into the base of a 20cm (8-inch) loose-bottomed springform pan lined with baking paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and firm. Let it cool completely.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a small bowl, soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes to soften.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir the dissolved gelatin into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
Create the Pecan Topping:
- In a small, non-stick pan, toast the chopped pecans over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant.
- Add the sugar-free maple syrup, golden sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Stir well and cook for one minute until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from the heat and let the topping cool slightly.
Assemble and Chill:
- Pour the cooled pecan topping over the cheesecake filling, arranging the nuts evenly.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until it is completely set.
Serve:
- Carefully remove the chilled cheesecake from the springform pan, slice it into 8 equal portions, and enjoy.
