A lighter, healthier take on classic cheesecake, made with creamy Greek yogurt and rich dark chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Graham crackers
  • 6 tablespoon Unsalted butter
  • Sugar
  • 2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 16 oz Cream cheese
  • 3 Egg
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 8 oz Dark chocolate
  • Heavy cream

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Prepare graham cracker crust

Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.

Step 3

Mix crust ingredients

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Press crust into pan

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

Step 5

Prepare cheesecake filling

In a large bowl, beat the Greek yogurt and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Melt chocolate

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 7

Combine chocolate and filling

Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the cheesecake filling until well combined.

Step 8

Pour filling and bake

Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 1 hour, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
