2.5 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies opt for lower-sugar or whole-grain varieties for a healthier twist
0.5 cup light butter or coconut oil melted

4 blocks light cream cheese 8 oz, softened
1.5 cups powdered erythritol or reduced-sugar powdered sweetener blend or regular powdered sugar, adjusted to taste
16 oz light whipped topping thawed (e.g., Cool Whip Lite)
natural green food coloring a few drops (or a pinch of spinach powder for a subtle, natural hue)

Gently pulse the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. In a medium bowl, combine these crumbs with the melted light butter or coconut oil, mixing until well incorporated. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened light cream cheese with the powdered erythritol (or your chosen sweetener) until the mixture is smooth and delightfully creamy. Gently fold in the light whipped topping until everything is fully combined.
Carefully add a few drops of natural green food coloring (or the spinach powder for a more natural approach) to the cheesecake mixture. Stir gently until your desired cheerful green shade is reached.
Evenly spread the vibrant green cheesecake mixture over your prepared cookie crust. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set beautifully and firm up.
Before serving, feel free to add a cheerful dollop of extra light whipped topping or garnish with some fresh berries for a bright, seasonal touch. Slice and savor this wonderfully easy and healthier holiday treat!
