Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Mixture:

• 1 cup vanilla-flavored custard-style yogurt
• 16 ounces low-fat cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

For Assembly:

• 2-3 low-fat graham cracker sheets, crushed
• Low-fat whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
• Strawberries (optional, for garnish)

Equipment Needed

• Kitchen Scale (optional)
• Hand Mixer

Instructions

Preparing the Cheesecake Mixture

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all the cheesecake mixture ingredients. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Assembling the Cheesecake Cups

1. Prepare Dishes: Place your serving dishes on a tray for easy transport.

2. Layer Graham Cracker Crumbs: Spoon 2 tablespoons of the crushed graham crackers into the bottom of each dish. This serves as the “crust” of your cheesecake cups, providing a delightful crunch and familiar flavor.

3. Add Cheesecake Mixture: Spoon approximately ¾ cup of the prepared cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker layer in each dish. Smooth the tops for a neat finish.

4. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake cups, uncovered, for 2-3 hours, or until set. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up slightly.

5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add a dollop of whipped topping and a fresh strawberry to each dessert, if desired. Feel free to get creative with your garnishes—consider a variety of berries, macerated fruit, or even a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.

Tips from Becky

• Yogurt Choice: You can use thick Greek yogurt or custard-style yogurt in this recipe. Custard-style yogurt is sweeter and just as creamy, offering a delightful flavor.

• Setting Time: The cheesecake cups taste best after setting in the fridge for a couple of hours, but you can enjoy them immediately if you’re in a hurry.

• Texture and Flavor: The crushed graham crackers mimic the texture and taste of a traditional crust without the extra effort.

• Customization: Turn these cups into a parfait by adding alternating layers of graham crackers, cheesecake mixture, and fresh strawberries. Experiment with food coloring to make your whipped topping festive for special occasions.

Storage

Store any leftover cheesecake cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Note that the nutritional information provided does not account for optional garnishes.
