Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 9X9 baking pan with aluminum foil and coat with non stick spray.

Strawberry Swirl:

Blend the strawberries for 10 second. You don't want them to turn into juice, just fully mashed.
Place strawberries, cornstarch, granulated sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until thickens, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Crust:

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Transfer to the baking pan and press firmly. Place the pan in freezer for 15 minutes or until the filling is ready.

Cheesecake:

Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add in the eggs, one by one. Mix well after each addition.
Mix in Greek Yogurt and Sugar. Mix in vanilla. Beat until well incorporated.
Take the pan out of the freezer, pour in the cheesecake filling and using a spatula, make the surface smooth.
Drizzle the strawberry mixture on the cheesecake filling. Using a knife or a toothpick to swirl it.
Bake in the oven for 30 - 40 minutes. Check after 30 minutes. The sides should be set while the center is a bit jiggly. If so, take the cheesecake out and let it cool completely on the counter. Then cool it in the fridge for at least 3 hours before cutting.
