Are there any good substitute ingredients for making a cheesecake?

An alternative for traditional cheese in a cheesecake is Greek yogurt. It can be used to make a lighter, healthier version of the dessert. Additionally, low-fat cream cheese can be used in place of regular cream cheese for a lower calorie version. 2 Other non-dairy options for a cheesecake include cashews, coconut yogurt, and silken tofu. These ingredients can be combined with lemon or lime juice and agave syrup to create a creamy and sweet vegan cheesecake. 3 Another option for those looking for gluten-free options is to replace the traditional graham cracker crust with an almond flour or hazelnut flour crust. This results in a nutty-flavored, crunchy cheesecake base.
