- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1ā2 tbsp zero-calorie sweetener (like Stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol), optional for extra sweetness
Instructions

Bake forĀ 30 minutes, then reduce temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake anotherĀ 20ā25 minutes, until set but slightly jiggly in the center. - Cool completely
Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at leastĀ 4 hoursĀ (overnight is best) to set fully. - Serve

Notes
- Chilling is key ā the flavor and texture improve after several hours in the fridge.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal, but you can also use a pie dish.
- Pudding mix adds flavor, sweetness, and stability ā donāt skip it.
Tips
- For extra flavor, swap vanilla extract for almond or lemon extract.
