Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 24 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar, mixing until well combined.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
Add the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed just until incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center jiggles slightly.
Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for about 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven, allowing it to cool completely at room temperature.
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight before serving.
Garnish with additional lemon zest or slices before serving, if desired.
