Description
Introducing the world's easiest healthy cheesecake. Just take a flavored Greek yogurt, slap it into a pie shell, and bake. That's it! I'll be using my homemade Healthier Graham Cracker Pie Crust, but any old store bought graham cracker crust will do as well. As for the filling, I'll be going with a whole large container of this Chobani 20 g Protein Vanilla Sugar Free Greek Yogurt.

Ingredients
Serving(s)
- 1 batch, 9 oz Healthier Graham Cracker Pie Crust
- 4 cup, 32 oz Vanilla Protein Greek Yogurt
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Add your yogurt into the pie crust, and smooth out the top.
- Place the cheesecake into a cold oven, and set the temperature to 350F.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until edges just begin to set. Without opening the door, turn off the oven, and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 15 minutes before removing. The edges should be set, but the center will still be slightly jiggly if you tap the pan on the side.
- Transfer to the fridge, and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight) before slicing.
Notes
- For a homemade filling with same taste and nutrition facts, mix together the following ingredients in a large bowl before adding to the crust.
- 4 cup (908 g) Plain nonfat greek yogurt
- 1/2 scoop (15 g) Whey protein powder, vanilla
- 2 tsp (9 g) Extra virgin coconut oil
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Liquid monk fruit
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Vanilla extract
- To make a lemon blueberry cheesecake, mix 1/4 cup (60 g) lemon juice and 1 cup (150 g) frozen blueberries into the cheesecake batter.
- Does this taste exactly as good as a traditional cheesecake? No, of course not. It's made of yogurt with no sugar and minimal fat. It is however still a delicious healthier alternative, but don't expect it to taste exactly like a slice of classic New York style cheesecake. That instead would have about 32 oz (908 g) of full fat cream cheese, 1 cup (200 g) of sugar, and 2/3 cup (160 g) of sour cream in the filling instead.
