These are a staple at my house. I’ve made several varieties. I noticed you talked about adding flour or cake mix. I started adding two boxes of pudding which to me helps with the texture and quicker setting up. Ups the points just by one per slice but it is worth it to me. I love these because it is such a great protein filled snack. So satisfying.

The recipe looks yum but wondering about the addition of cake mix/flour. Can you just mix in 3Tb. Of flour no will that provide the same stability as cake mix? I don’t have a use for cake mix and would prefer not to purchase unless you feel the flour alone will have a negative impact on the cheesecake flavor. Thanks.

Hi Gwen,

The only thing I could think of is maybe the individual packets aren’t as concentrated. The sweetness of the sugar substitute and the extract helps offset the bitterness of the Greek Yogurt. If you find it’s still too bitter..add a bit more sweetener to the batter.
Hopes that helps! Thanks

I tried this recipe over the weekend and it was bitter. The only difference is that I used the individual packets of the sweetener but it was the same name brand. I also could not find the butterscotch abstract so I used vanilla. Any suggestions on what I could have done wrong. For the yogurt I used Fage.

Hi Denise,
I’ve recently started adding a bit of cake mix into my Greek yogurt cheesecake recipes which helps create a nicer thicker texture. Just a little bit of cake mix or flour in the cheesecake batter helps bond the cheesecake and makes the cake easier to cut into clean slices. The starch in the cake mix makes the cheesecake more firm and sturdy, while a cheesecake that relies on eggs alone has a softer, super-creamy texture. You can use any flavor of cake mix such as: White, Yellow, Spice or Sugar Free (the overall point value is the same per slice regardless if you use a regular or sugar free cake mix).

This is optional and if prefer you can omit it from the recipe if you choose to do so.

Thank you so much!

I was wondering why this recipe has the cake mix? Just curious. Thanks

Hi Christy,

Not necessarily, but I like to still add 3 Tbsp. I make it for my kids who like the regular pudding and I usually add the sugar to help balance out the tanginess of the Greek Yogurt.

You can omit it if you choose!

Thanks so much,
Linds

Do you need to add the sweetener if you use regular pudding mix (not sugar free)?

I like your website and have told people about it, but figuring out your recipes seems complicated. I told my niece about the butterscotch cheesecake and went to print out the recipe and it goes on for a long time. Is there not an easier way to print this out?
