In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and low-fat Greek yogurt. Mix them together until smooth.
Cut the light camembert cheese into small cubes and add it to the bowl. Use a fork to mash the camembert cheese into the cream cheese mixture.
Finely chop the small onion and add it to the cheese mixture.
Stir in the sweet paprika powder, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Chop the chives finely and set aside a small amount for garnish. Stir the remaining chopped chives into the cheese spread.
Cover the bowl and chill the Obazda in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, adjust seasoning to taste, and garnish with the reserved chopped chives.
Serve the Low Fat Obazda with whole-grain bread, pretzels, or vegetable sticks.
