Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 sheets Graham crackers (crushed into crumbs)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Fresh fruit or fruit compote (optional topping)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix well until the texture resembles damp sand.
Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly between two serving cups or small bowls, pressing it down firmly to create a crust layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
Using a whisk or hand mixer, beat the mixture until smooth, creamy, and well combined.
Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly over the prepared crusts in the serving cups, smoothing the tops with a spoon or spatula.
If desired, top with fresh fruit or a drizzle of fruit compote for added flavor and presentation.
Refrigerate the cheesecakes for 10-15 minutes to set slightly, or enjoy immediately for a softer texture.
