  • Yield: Makes 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 graham crackers
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 6 ounces low-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 6 ounces plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg (room temperature)
  • 1 egg white (room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt

  • Additional sugar for strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine graham crackers and melted butter until crumbly. Press into the baking dish to form the crust and bake for 5–7 minutes until lightly browned.
  3. In the cleaned food processor, mix cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Add egg and egg white; blend until combined. Stir in flour until no lumps remain.
  4. Pour filling over the baked crust and bake for 25–30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Prepare strawberry topping by blending hulled strawberries with sugar until smooth; mix in additional Greek yogurt and vanilla.
  6. Pour strawberry mixture over baked cheesecake and return to oven for another 15–20 minutes until just set.
  7. Cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least three hours or overnight before slicing into bars.
