This Sugar Free Cheesecake is made with just 3 ingredients – no added sugar, no sweetener and no flour. Rich, creamy, and packed with protein, it will satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping the calories low.
If you are looking for more healthy cheesecake recipes, you should also try my protein cheesecake, cottage cheese cheesecake and my healthy microwave cheesecake for one.
One thing about me is that I don’t consume sugar. Of course sometimes I do indulge in some bakery treats, but at home I never eat added sugars. I’ve recently started cutting all artificial sweeteners as well, they make me bloated and keep me craving for more. Instead, I now like sweetening my recipes and meals with natural options such as ripe bananas, applesauce or even pumpkin. That’s exactly what I did for my viral sugar free brownies with apples and this creamy sugarless cheesecake with bananas.
Why you will love this recipe
- Quick and easy. Making a delicious cheesecake with no sugar added is as simple as mixing bananas, eggs and Greek yogurt. Bake in your oven (no water bath!) and let it cool. It can’t get any easier!
- Healthy and sugar-free. Made with just 3 ingredients, this recipe is also flourless, gluten-free, low calorie, low carb and packed with protein. A slice provides 10 g of high quality protein!
- Naturally sweet and creamy. Forget tasteless, boring healthy recipes. This dessert has a delightful taste and a creamy consistency. Enjoy with your favorite toppings for a Cheesecake Factory experience.
- Budget-friendly and simple. The best thing about this recipe is that it does not use any special ingredients such as thickeners or pricy sugar replacements. Instead, it makes the most of ripe bananas you probably already have at home.
Ingredients
This recipe requires just 3 simple ingredients: bananas, eggs and Greek yogurt. Read further for all recommendations and substitutes, the precise quantities can be found in the recipe card at the bottom.
- Bananas. Choose ripe bananas, those with brown spots all over their skin. They’re sweet, moist and rich in flavor. As a low carb alternative you can use pumpkin, but some additional sweetener may be needed to compensate for the sweetness.
- Eggs. You’ll need 2 large eggs, yolks and whites included. They are essential to give this flourless cheesecake a great taste and texture. Unfortunately you cannot replace with flaxseed eggs or egg whites only.
- Greek yogurt. I recommend 5% fat Greek yogurt, plain and unsweetened. Nonfat yogurt does not provide the same rich taste and creamy texture. Cream cheese, quark, skyr, lactose free Greek yogurt, and vegan Greek-style yogurt are great alternatives.
How to make sugar free cheesecake
- Step 1 – Get ready for baking. Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C) and line a round baking mold with parchment paper or grease it with oil.
- Step 2 – Mix ingredients. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add eggs and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas, then use a fork or whisk to stir until ingredients are combined. The result should be a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Step 3 – Bake. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking mold, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the middle rack of a hot oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake has set and is cooked in the center.
- Step 4 – Let cool. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Storage directions
To store, allow the baked sugar free cheesecake to cool completely to room temperature first. Once cool, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for a maximum of 5 days. You can serve it cold straight from the fridge, on its own or with extra toppings. Freezing is not recommended, as it would lose its creamy texture when thawed.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make sugar free cheesecake dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the yogurt with plant-based options like Greek-style vegan yogurt or nondairy cream cheese. Make sure to choose one with a firm consistency, similar to regular Greek yogurt.
How can I replace bananas?
The two bananas can be swapped for 1 cup (200 g) of unsweetened applesauce or 1 cup (200 g) of pumpkin purée. If you choose pumpkin, consider adding a bit of sweetener, as it’s naturally less sweet than bananas.

Tried this today and it was just amazing! So simple but amazing. Thank you, Matteo!
Hey Isha,
thank you so much for your review! It truly makes me happy that you liked my sugar free cheesecake recipe 😉
Have a fantastic Sunday,
Matteo
You actually CAN make it with egg whites only. I used 3tbs liquid egg white in place of the 1 whole egg and got a lovely, soft flan-like consistency with less fat and fewer calories.
Hey Monica,
thanks a lot! That’s amazing that you were able to prep this zero sugar cheesecake with egg whites only. Good to know!
May you have a fantastic day,
Matteo
Easy, tasty, worth placing in dessert lineup…. I’m a huge banana fan and have been trying to do something different with them. I gave up added sugars 7mths ago and always have plain Greek yogurt in the fridge. This recipe was the right amount of sweetness and versatile enough to do in cupcake form. Big hit and no one believed it was sugar free!
Hey Lillian,
thanks so much for your kind review! I am so glad that you appreciate my sugar-free dessert recipe.
Have a great day,
Matteo
I just made this, and it is surprisingly really good! I was very skeptical at first (and I added a few drops of liquid stevia just in case) and it is perfect. Sure wish I’d known about doing this years ago! I’d have cheesecake every week!!!!
Hey Corrine,
thanks so much for your review! I am so glad you like my cheesecake with no sugar 😉
Have a great day,

This turned out good for my first try, and I did use 0% fat Greek yogurt. Next time I wouldn’t bake it as long. I also added a graham cracker crust. Definitely going to try this again!
Hey Amie,
thanks a lot for your comment! I’m SO HAPPY that you liked this easy cheesecake recipe with no sugar. Glad it came out perfect also with nonfat Greek yogurt, good to know.
Have a great day,
Matteo
I’m doing your recipe today I’d like to know if you ever added pecans to the mix. I’m using the electric mixer to make it smooth.
Hey Teresa,
you can definitely add some chopped pecans or other mix-ins. In this case, I recommend adding them after stirring the batter, preferably folding the pecans using a spatula or a fork.
You’ll love how delicious it tastes!
Have a great day,
Matteo
A very simple and delicious recipe! Hard to believe it has only 3 ingredients and no added sugar! Thank you for this, my teenage daughters loved it! I put the filling into a crust made from oats, dates and olive oil, which was a good match.
Hey,
thanks a lot for your review! I am so happy that you all liked my sugar-free cheesecake recipe. Love the adaptation for the crust by the way, it sounds truly delicious.
Have a fantastic day,
Matteo

I just happened upon Your website While searching for “weight watchers Cottage cheese brownies”. I’m intrigued By all of your recipes come out but I don’t know how to Rate them using the weight watchers point scale.. Do you have any idea how your nutrition Nutrition facts Translate into the weight watchers System? I will try to find an answer In the weight watchers Universe, but if there is a straightforward method to arrive at weight watchers points come out I think it would be helpful to many of your subscribers. Keep up the good work. Thank you!
Hi James,
thanks so much for your feedback! I’m glad you like my recipes. I’m not fully sure about how the nutrition facts translate into Weight Watchers points, but I’ll definitely look into it and make sure to learn more in the future.
I appreciate you bringing it up, and I’ll try to provide that information if I can in the future.
Thanks again!
Matteo
If 5% yogurt is used it would be 8pts per serving, (or 32 pts for the whole cheesecake) If non-fat or fat free yogurt is used it would be 0 pts.
