Delightful Low-Calorie Lemon Yogurt Cheesecake Cups offer a creamy, tangy, and refreshing twist on traditional cheesecake. Made with Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and a zesty lemon punch, they’re a light, healthy dessert option.

Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers

1 tablespoon melted butter

Fresh berries (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly into the bottom of 4 small serving cups or ramekins and press down firmly to form the crust. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts in the cups. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  4. Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 2-3 hours or until set.
  5. Before serving, top each cheesecake cup with fresh berries of your choice for an extra burst of flavor.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

For extra sweetness, increase the amount of honey or maple syrup.

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers or crushed almonds for the crust.

Add a tablespoon of fruit puree (like strawberry or blueberry) to the cheesecake mixture for a fruity twist.

For a dairy-free version, substitute the cream cheese with cashew cream cheese or coconut yogurt.
