Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cheesecake filling
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt Make sure it's plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt.
  • 1 cup cream cheese Should be at room temperature.
  • 1/2 cup sugar Adjust sweetness according to taste.
  • 3 large eggs Bring to room temperature before use.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor enhancement.
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice Freshly squeezed is best.
For the crust
  • 1 prepared graham cracker crust Store-bought or homemade.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set and lightly golden on top.
  2. Let it cool before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
Serving
  1. Serve chilled, cut into slices and plate. Top with fresh berries, honey, or crushed nuts if desired.

Notes

Ensure both Greek yogurt and cream cheese are at room temperature for a smoother texture. Don't overmix the batter; mix until everything is just combined for a light and fluffy cheesecake. Cool completely before chilling.
