Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 16 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 8 ounces white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons shaved white chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and honey or maple syrup. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to ensure an even layer. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt together until smooth and creamy using a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Sift in the powdered sugar and continue to beat the mixture until it is smooth and fluffy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even layer.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set.
Once set, remove the springform pan's outer ring. Garnish with fresh berries and shaved white chocolate, if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
