Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup cream cheese or soft or firm tofu
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or agave (or 2/3 cup sugar or xylitol)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot
Crust:
- Crust of choice or use the crust recipe written out above in this post
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients until completely smooth – I highly recommend using a blender or food processor for smoothest results.
- Pour into any prepared crust.
- Bake for 50 minutes, then remove from the oven. It should still look underdone.
- Allow to cool for an hour before moving the cake, uncovered, to the refrigerator to set for at least 8 hours, during which time it will magically firm up and become more flavorful.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use tofu instead of cream cheese.
- You can top the cheesecake with fresh fruit or a fruit compote for added flavor.
