Ingredients
2 cups fat free plain Greek yogurt1/2 cup sugarpinch of salt2 eggs1 vanilla bean (seeds scraped out) or 2 tsp vanilla extract1 T cornstarchoptional: sliced strawberries for garnishoptional graham cracker crust recipe below -
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, sugar, yogurt and vanilla. Blend until smooth, then add cornstarch and pinch of salt and blend again. Pour filling into crust in a 10 inch springform pan, and bake for 35 minutes.

When the cheesecake is done, it will still be jiggly in the center but will have a “done” look to it. The edges of the cake will start to pull away from the sides of the pan. Make sure you don’t overbake.

Let cool then chill for 2-3 hours in the fridge before releasing springform.

Arrange the sliced strawberries over top of the cooled cheesecake and serve.






Simple Graham Cracker Crust

from Choc. Covered Katie

around 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 sheets of graham crackers)

3 tablespoons almond milk

In a food processor, process crackers into fine crumbles. Add milk and process again to combine. Pour now-sticky crumbs into a prepared 10 inch springform pan, and smush down very firmly with your hands or a sheet of wax paper. You don’t need to pre-bake the crust; just pour the filling straight in.

    I used full fat yogurt. Low fat or non fat will separate with heat. - 10/10/18

    I tried it and I loved it soo much! I was supposed to make it for my mom and I didn't plan on eating any at all. But I ended up eating two pieces. I added raspberries to the cream and used honey instead of sugar. The recipe is awesome! - 7/15/16
