Greek Yogurt Cheesecake
This lighter cheesecake is made with a combination of Greek yogurt and cream cheese. It bakes up rich and creamy, just like a traditional cheesecake. This easy recipe requires very little hands-on time and no water bath is needed.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Wrap foil around the lower exterior of a 9-inch springform pan (just to prevent any leaks). Preheat oven to 325°F.
2
Graham cracker crust:
3
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Dump the mixture into the prepared springform pan, pressing the mixture onto the bottom, and at least 1-inch up the sides. I like to use the bottom of a measuring cup to help firmly press the mixture in. Transfer the crust to the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Pour the batter into the crust and smooth the top. Bake in the center of the oven for ⏱️ 45-55 minutes, until the cheesecake is just set around the edges and the center still has very slight jiggle. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool to room temp, then move it to the refrigerator until completely chilled (several hours). Serve with any of the toppings suggested. Store in the refrigerator.
