Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt or dairy free alternative (360g)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese or silken firm tofu (120g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract (7g)
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice (7g)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey (120g) (or 2/3 cup sugar or xylitol)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (8g) or 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 crust of choice (a crust recipe is included above)

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit (176° Celsius).
  • 2. Combine all Greek yogurt cheesecake ingredients, except crust, in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
  • 3. Pour the filling into any prepared crust. (Alternatively, pour into glasses for no bake cheesecake mousse.)
  • 4. Bake 50 minutes on the oven's center rack. The cake should still look underdone when time is up.
  • 5. Allow to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then transfer to the refrigerator uncovered for eight hours or overnight. It will firm up as it chills.
  • 6. Slice and enjoy!
