Mmmm…. Cheesecake. It is one on my many weaknesses, thanks to a overactive sweet tooth.
Since, I am trying to eat more healthy, I decided to make a cheesecake that was a little more healthy. It may not contain cream cheese, but the texture and taste is still the same!

Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 8 slices
Ingredients
- 2 cups fat free plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs (If you want a whiter cheesecake, use 4 egg whites)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Combine the eggs, sugar, yogurt and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Add cornstarch and mix until well combined.
- Pour filling onto your favorite crust recipe in a 10 inch springform pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the edges start to pull from the sides. The middle will still look unset, but will firm up as it cools.
- Let cool 2-3 hours in the fridge before serving.
Notes
For the topping, just blend some of your favorite frozen fruit with a ¼ cup of greek yogurt in a blender and drizzle over each slice before serving.
This sounds delicious, and a great way to indulge in a way that’s a bit healthier.
This sounds delicious – I love Greek yogurt and always have it on hand/
Tried this tonight, its definitely a recipe to keep. It’s filling just like normal cheese cake, and though it does taste a little different, its still satisfying. I used half plain greek yogurt and half vanilla to add some extra flavor. I also warmed up blackberry jelly and used it as a sauce, it was delicious.
Suggestion: add more cornstarch or cook longer to make it more firm.
