Greek Yogurt Cheesecakes
Description
This Greek Yogurt Cheesecakes recipe creates six individual cheesecakes in paper liners with a crisp graham cracker and butter crust. The filling blends softened cream cheese with Greek yogurt, sugar, egg, and vanilla for a tangy yet creamy texture. The mixture is beaten to smoothness before filling the crusts.
Baking at 350°F for 25 minutes firms up the centers while maintaining a soft texture. After cooling and chilling in the refrigerator for at least two hours, the cheesecakes set well for serving. Fresh berries placed on top add a natural sweetness and fruit contrast.
These cheesecakes make controlled individual servings, convenient for portion control or entertaining. They can serve as a light dessert option with a balance of richness and yogurt brightness.
The recipe recommends using either low-fat or regular cream cheese and notes the need for chilling before serving to achieve proper firmness. Removing liners before topping with berries is the final step.
