Low-fat vanilla quark cheesecake Unofficial Slimming World cheesecake recipe

I love vanilla cheesecake but the shop-bought ones always seem so bad for you with a tiny little piece being so high in calories. This low-fat vanilla quark cheesecake is so much better and really easy to make. If you follow Slimming World or another diet it could help you to still enjoy cheesecake but lose weight too!

Quark tips with this low-fat vanilla quark cheesecake

In recipes that need quark, there are a few simple things you can do to ensure it tastes good. Quark doesn’t have much flavour so ensure you flavour the dish well.

Flavoured quark is usually synned if you follow Slimming World so instead use flavourings that are syn-free or a squeeze of lemon juice perhaps.

Whilst you can buy vanilla quark for this cheesecake it is synned and this is just as easy. I promise if you make this vanilla quark cheesecake with plain quark but using vanilla essence it will be just as good as with vanilla quark but with lower syns!

Quark is available in most large supermarkets now and even stocked in Aldi and Lidl. You can usually find it near soft cheeses in a tub similar to that you would buy cottage cheese in.

If you are not sure about Quark, then why not try some sweetened with Smores Brownies as a cream-type accompaniment?

Quark cheesecakes for diets

If you follow Slimming World, Weight Watchers (WW), Noom or any other weight loss plan this vanilla cheesecake and my chocolate and coffee cheesecake are great recipes to try.

It is of course important to check yourself for any plan you follow and remember all nutritional information and ingredients are found in the recipe card below.

Comfort eating

It is easy when you are trying to lose weight to fall into the trap of comfort eating when you are feeling down.

Finding healthy snack alternatives can help you avoid weight gain.

You do not need to just snack on fruit and vegetables to be healthy there are so many other alternatives.

When you carefully count the syns in something like this vanilla cheesecake it can be great on the plan too.

If you find that you are regularly feeling down and snacking then maybe you need to address this as possible depression and consider seeing your GP. We all have struggled every now and then so it really isn’t something to be ashamed of.

Another option instead of eating at all could be to find something else to do instead of eating when you are feeling down.

Give it some thought and see if you can come up with any strategies to help yourself.

Budget shopping tips

I try to ensure all of the recipes I make are accessible to everyone. By this, I mean that they do not use obscure hard-to-find ingredients.

I also believe that recipes should use as few ingredients as possible and avoid expensive ingredients. We would all much rather spend money on holidays than expensive ingredients wouldn’t we?

Additionally don’t forget to check out the yellow sticker reductions and freeze what you can. I often freeze quark if I buy it reduced then simply defrost it before using it in a recipe like this vanilla cheesecake.
