I love cheesecake, but it’s too dangerous for me to have an entire cake in the house – I might eat the whole thing! I came up with this recipe for Greek yogurt cheesecake to satisfy my cheesecake cravings in bite sized form.

These cheesecakes can be assembled in minutes and are the perfect make-ahead dessert for when you want a little sweet treat. My secret ingredient in this recipe is Clover Vanilla Organic Greek Yogurt. The yogurt gives these cheesecakes a lighter texture and adds a lot of flavor, plus each cup contains 12 grams of protein.

How do you make Greek yogurt cheesecake?

These Greek yogurt cheesecakes start with a simple graham cracker crust. The crust is pressed into cupcake liners and a 5 ingredient cheesecake filling is poured over the top. After 25 minutes in the oven, you’ve got dessert perfection!

You can top these cheesecakes with whatever fruit you like, a drizzle of chocolate sauce would also be a nice addition. I went with fresh berries because we always have them around now that they’re back in season. After you chill these little cakes, it’s easy to unmold them from the cupcake papers. My whole family loves these treats, I make them a few times a month!

I’ve included a video with step-by-step instructions on how you can make your own mini Greek yogurt cheesecakes. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or simply looking for an everyday sweet snack, these cheesecakes are sure to get rave reviews!
