Yogurt Breakfast Cheesecake

Cultural Context

Yogurt breakfast cheesecake is a modern twist on traditional cheesecake, incorporating healthier ingredients like Greek yogurt. This dish reflects a growing trend towards lighter, protein-rich breakfasts that are both satisfying and nutritious. It's often enjoyed on weekends or as a meal prep option for busy mornings, allowing for a delicious start to the day without the guilt of heavier desserts.

90 min
medium
6 servings
Servings4
32 oz Greek yogurt (or dairy free alternative)
6 whole graham crackers (can substitute other cookies or a keto option)
1 cup strawberries (or fruit of choice, optional)
1/3 cup powdered sweetener (of choice, only if using unsweetened yogurt)

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Ricotta provides a similar texture with fewer calories.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: agave syrup

Honey adds sweetness with a different flavor profile.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil offers a dairy-free option.

fresh fruit

🥗Healthier: dried fruit

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Dried fruit is shelf-stable and adds sweetness.

1

If using unsweetened yogurt, first whisk in the powdered sweetener.

2

Spread about a fourth of the yogurt evenly into the bottom of an 8 inch square pan.

3

Break the graham crackers or cookies into large pieces, and arrange in a layer above the yogurt.

4

Add a layer of sliced berries if desired. Then top with a second layer of yogurt.

5

Repeat with alternating layers of graham crackers, berries, and yogurt.

6

Cover loosely, making sure to leave an opening for moisture to escape. Refrigerate eight hours or overnight. The breakfast yogurt cheesecake will thicken and firm up as it chills.

7

Slice and enjoy for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

8

Tightly cover any leftovers after a day, and refrigerate for up to a week. Or freeze for up to three months and thaw before serving.
